Kaspersky and PornDialer Buffalo 10-03-2005

Kaspersky found 8 instances of what it classified as
"PornDialer.Win32.CDUpdater.g" on my PC.
I believe they are false positives. This just happened after I updated the defs
today.
One of the hits was in a folder that is a copy of the Win98SE cd.
It is a folder called Win98SE on my PC and the hit was on Win98_OL.CAB.
When I extracted that cab into a temp folder, Kaspersky identified the problem
file as MSNForIE.dll.
I sent that file to virustotal and it showed no hits.
Is anyone else having this problem with Kaspersky recently?
Thanks

Send the the DLL file to Kaspersky so they can correct the FP:

Yep, I did send those files to VirusTotal but haven't notified Kaspersky yet.
I was using the on-demand scanner that you gave directions for several weeks
ago, thanks for doing that.
(Mwave and wget)
Neither AdAware or ZAPro finds any problems.
Should I send the whole .dlls or just their names?

You _must_ send them a copy of the DLL file, preferably zipped.
Explain in your emal what happened.

They asked me to send them, so I just did. I did not zip them. The four files,
that I could attach,were all .dll files.
CDDBUIWinamp.dll,as.dll,MSNForIE.dll and CCWEBWND.dll.

The other two files were in the C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files and were not
available. (Protected)

However, since I updated the defs within the last hour, a new scan came up
clean.
I believe they have corrected the problem.
