Please send us the quarantined files in password protected zip files to malware@eeye.com

password: infected

These files are located in the Quarantine Folder in Blink as .QRN or .BAK files

Thank you!

Yes, I'm having the same problem with Ad-Aware & Spybot reported above. I can't use them because Blink is identifying them inappropriately as malware.

I ran CW Shredder, and it found and removed CWS.hiddendll. Could that be related to the problem?

I just tried to instal SpySweeper 5.5, and Blink is also identifying that as malware.

Please advise. Thanks.

Blink Personal Version 3.5.7, Rule version 1443
AntiVirus Version 1.0.376
Vulnerability Scanner version 5.9.1, Audits version 1886

The above definitions identified Ad-Aware2007.exe and 4 programs from Spybot Search and Destroy (SpybotSD.exe, TeaTimer.exe, SDShred.exe and SDUpdate.exe) as the W32/Spyware.gen1 virus and quarantined them.

Previous definitions were happy with them. Could you please update the definitions to correct this problem.
