    False Positive? DriveCleaner 2006


    Every time I run Spybot S&D it comes out clean except for one entry: DriveCleaner 2006, (SBI $7E4EDB6E) Class Id, located at HKCR > CLSID > InpocServer32(64 bit).

    Clicking to "Fix Selected Problems" results in: "Some problems couldn't be fixed; the reason is that the associated files could still be in use (in memory). This could be fixed after a restart."
    Restarting does nothing.

    The only thing in the InprocServer32 key is:
    C:\programs\AutoCad 2010\AdComFolder\watch.dll
    > Threading Model: Both

    I know DriveCleaner is a nasty piece of business, but I have scoured my system for any evidence of an infection and have found nothing.

    I'm just checking to see if anyone here gets this to see if it is a known false positive result.

    Thanks

    ive faced the same prob only with different string on my reg. CC cleaner failed to delete it and so as other software. i tried manual delete on regedit,failed. last, i just left it there as my system still works normal. As long the dead reg didn't give any problems, i just let it sit silent there

    Thing is... I have run many AV's and cleaners and they don't detect anything. Only Spybot. And I have gone down that list of files, folders, and registry keys that are associated with the actual worm with a manual search and none of them show up. And none of the processes associated with DriveCleaner are running. I am pretty sure the system is clean.

    I am wondering if Spybot is looking at that watch.dll file and confusing it for DriveCleaner.

    I posted this issue on Safer Networking's "False Positives" forum, including a key description:
    "In my HKCR > CLSID > InProcServer32 registry key I do have this:
    C:\Programs\AutoCAD 2010\AdComFolder\Watch.dll
    Threading Model: Both
    Could this be the cause of a false positive for Drive Cleaner 2006?"

    And I got this response:

    "
    hello,

    thank you for reporting this issue.
    It is quite unexpected to have any legit software with a registry entry at

    Code:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\InprocServer32

    We will regard this as a false positive, it will be corrected with the next detection update scheduled for Wednesday 2010-05-19."

    That was a good reply from them and an appropriate response.
