Brainbuster Brainbot - There is some guy calling himself Brainbuster. He made Brainbot. I’m not sure is it in any way related to his work (if we can even call it that name , but anyway )… See here (please do some minor searching on that web site) :

I wonder why some people have problems with SPYBOT recognizing Active Skin parts as spyware, and I never had any problems with spybot. It never found anything like that on my system. Of course I always have Spybot up to date, except I don’t like to download beta definitions. I’m starting to think, that their systems are maybe infected with Brainbot… maybe it’s attacking Active skin keys, who knows… someone who is infected will most likely have problems with Spybot detecting those keys as spyware…

Cheers !

So now, after all it looks like beta definitions were the problem. Some false positives, that are not just confusing users, but screw up their avast! installation as well… it looks like they will fix it in next definition update

Cheers !
