Norton Power Eraser 1.6 Beta - false +ve?

 

NPE detected Registry Key - HKCU\software\microsoft\internexplorer\new windows\"popupMgr" as a bad system setting but I believe this is valid.

 

NPE detects Hosts  as bad but I beleive this is perfectly valid, You will not have a matching signature for hosts since hosts can be edited by the user to include sites to be blocked.

 

NPE detects tagrename , the executable, the link and the whole directory as bad whereas this is a perfect product downloadable from Softpointer. I installed Tag & Rename 3.56

 

NPE detects mm.exe  and the mokum.lnk link as bad whereas these are fine. mm is the executable for Mokum Mail by my friend Joop Blokker.

 

NPE finds as suspicious lifesaverxp. Lifesaverxp can be downloaded from Major geeks and softpedia

Hi cgoldman

 

I had the same detection with that registry key with both 1.5 and 1.6. I am sure it is a false positive as I get it detected on 3 different systems.
