Total Defense (CA Anti-Spyware) Internet Security False Positive

[Grim_Jester]

I am fairly certain that my anti virus is now falsely declaring lnchrt.exe and MMF 2 applications as infected with a virus.

The virus is listed as: win32/Tnega.ARWO

I looked at their site, and saw that vendors can make a vendor's request to have them take your product off of their list.

It could have gotten infected with a virus, instead of being a virus by itself. However, more likely than not, it's a false positive.

I'm pretty sure it is a false positive. When I installed MMF 2 on a different machine with the same scanner, it found the same thing once MMF 2 installed the update.

Do you have the URL handy for requesting they fix their faulty scanner?

Here is the first URL about false positives:

[url]http://totaldefense.iyogi.com/?p=961[/url

It will refer you to here, which is not about reporting false positives, but reporting viruses:

http://totaldefense.iyogi.com/?p=460

It does have this email address: spyware@ca.com or virus@ca.com

I am not pleased that they aren't very direct here.

Thanks.
