  • Thanks jimR1

    what i have done is downloaded spywareblaster again,as i know that this is not a trojan
    onecare warned me again,so this time i asked it to ignore allways and i will send the false positive off

    so now i can open spywareblaster without any problems

  • I have downloaded Spywareblaster v 4.1 and can verify One Care detects a trojan. Thank you for reporting this.

  • I have added the Spyware Blaster file to WLOC's exclusion list on both my computers. Can I assume that this false positive is going to be fixed by WLOC?

  • If it is indeed a false positive it will be corrected.
