Panda TruPrevent comes infected? Brian 02-11-2006

Hi,
I ran Spyware Doctor 3.5 and it says I had the Lazar.c trojan in a registry
item that had a Panda TruPrevent item. Spyware Doctor then removed it but it
came back.

I uninstalled via the Control pannel Panda TruPrevent (also manually removed
the remainents of the program folder). Then reran Spyware Doctor. Got a
clean slate. Next I downloaded and reinstalled Panda TruPrevent 2006 and ran
Spyware Doctor. It found I was re-infected. Uninstalled as above with clean
results from Spyware Doctor.
Panda TruPrevent says it does not use viral signatures but detects via
behavior. How then is SD giving me this result. Is it a false positive.
Panda has not responded to my e-mail. My system is a Dell 2.3GHZ Pentium
Windows XP Prof. Note this whole thing started with SD finding Panda
Trupevent 2005 infected. So I downloaded the new "Improved" version. You
would think I should get a Lazar.D Trojan upgrade from the Lazar.C Trojan.
:) But no the new 2006 seems to have the same one?? Is this a false reading
from SD?

You're getting a false positive or something. Do you actually think that
Panda is going to have some kind of exploit implanted in its solution?
Maybe, a more appropriate NG like an AV NG can answer your questions ke
alt.comp.anti-virus.
