Has anyone reported this to Spybot SD support so they are made aware of it and can fix it so it doesnt come up as a worm?
Ill go ahead and do it and see what they say. You know a lot of people will just do a scan, see that and delete it because they will believe its a worm/virus because the scanner told them it was. I wouldve done it if I had not seen this post here.
Hello BS.
Yes, quite a lot us of have sent "feedback" to MS and Spybot about it but the more the better.

Hi, I'm new here on Windows SevenForums, and so far I'm loving it!
I'm really glad I found this post!
After checking my system for spyware, Spybot reported conhost.exe as a worm. I think I got a little scared and deleted the file right away. Now some programs aren't working as they should, I receive an cmd.exe error.
Is it possible for someone to, please, upload the conhost.exe file?! If not, please, can anybody help me to restore the file so I don't have to reinstall my windows?
Thanks in advance,
so far im sure this is just a false positive.
Hello krypnik,welcome to Se7en Forums!
Sorry you found out the hard way; we already knew it's a false positive.
I had the file already to upload to you; but I'm limited by the forums upload size limit; because the file is too big to upload. I'm sorry.......Maybe someone with a bigger size limit will upload it for you.
As Mr Grim suggested, have you tried a System Restore to a point before you deleted the file?
Keep us informed!

Hello Aaron.
I just used this to make a copy of it to put in a zip; if that's what you're asking.
Context Menu - Add Copy To Folder and Move To Folder

Hi BFK..How ya doin?
No, I mean I believe it's a prohibited thing to do, according to dmex, I saw him say it in a post a few days ago.I could be wrong though.
Howdy, so far so good.
I thought that's what you were asking/saying; believe me if anyone knows, it would be dmex.
