avast recognize the update as virus/worm :
Original filename : spyware0.xml
Original location :
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ZoneLabs\Updates\unpacked==anti_spyware=SpywareDatabase-80-Patch.zip\spyware0.xml
Virus description : Win32:Sytro-AB [Wrm]
Is this really a worm?
Hi, there. There have been previous issues with ZA.
Looks like ZA isn’t encrypting its spyware signatures, so any signature based security product installed on the same system would detect it very poor on ZAs part.
Personally I would disable ZAs anti-spyware as I did with my own firewall’s anti-spyware module. I have to say dumping this c**P in the system32 folder(ZoneLabs sub folder) is absolutely crazy.
First you have avast looking out for spyware and you can have other anti-spyware application that keeps its signatures encrypted and I feel is likely to be better than the ZA anti-spyware module.
