Free AVG is reporting a file called 'SpywareTerminatorSetup.exe' as
Trojan horse Downloader.Generic5.WUF. I also believe that this is a
DOS/PIF file since it has the same property tabs as a PIF file. Is there
a site where I can submit suspected files for analysis.

Thanks

According to my latest comp magazine, I believe AVG has been giving a number
of false detections, but mainly with those trying to download Adaware stuff.
Have you tried to down load/run Spyware Terminator, which I believe like
Adaware is one of the 'good guys'.
I would check with AVG - they must have a forum - or do a Google.
In fact, ST rang a bell - I have checked back a couple of issues and this
prog comes highly recommended as a full free antispy package??????????

And exactly how long will it take for MS to give you a response. That is the problem with this service from MS

I would say if the Mr. Scott would provide a sample then we would know how
fast would be the response time. If he would allow such and doing so would
help a lot more windows user along the way.
