Why is old software detected as a virus or a pup?
Why is old software detected as a virus or a pup?
I let the mod decided if this needs to move to the chill out room.
I have some old software on a usb that cause MSE to go off.
Here is a list of the tools.
PSPV.EXE (The owner of this program complained to Microsoft & other virus providers it is for xp though-It is a good program if you forgot your password.)
FIREHOLE.EXE (Got it from the Gibson Research Corporation it is for xp though)
WFPS10.EXE (Got it from the Gibson Research Corporation it is for xp though, it not a key generator though)
At least, I know there false positives. I wonder why they go off. I am sure they know about their tweaking tools. Shouldn't this be changed to something like an advisory, that these tools are for early operating systems. Have there been copy cats made of those tools that are real viruses? I have to disable MSE if I want to copy this to another USB drive.
Why do I still have the tools, my old computer has 98se & xp sp3 on it.
