Hello

There has been a recent issue with SpywareBlaster and AVG 8 - I am not sure weather this issue has effected Avira though.

What exactly is the issue? Is Avira detecting SpywareBlaster as a rogue suspect/infection or is it picking up hazardous ActiveX controls?

Either way it's a false positive on Avira's end.

Hello,

Avira detected it as an infection. So id jus ignore the avira issues. Thx for replying and clearing my doubt.

I checked on Google and some other forums and it seems that no one has reported this issue - therefore it must be very recent.

I want you to try this:

1. Uninstall SpywareBlaster.
2. Once SpywareBlaster has been uninstalled, scan with Avira again - post your results.

You may have downloaded a SpywareBlaster installation that had been injected with malicious code and Avira is picking this up. Could you tell me exactly where you got the installation file? Also, I recommend you submit this file to VirusTotal and see if any other scanners detect malicious code - post these results aswell.
