... Spybot beta F/P 'sgrunt' ...


... I'm running the Spybot beta, and after today's update I think it tossed up a F/P for 'sgrunt' ... it looks like it's detecting a restricted site entry (from IESpyAd, probably) but I can't log in to their forum to post ... just wondering if anyone else ran the beta and saw this entry ...

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-(***)\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\sgrunt.biz

... thanks in advance ...

Yes I got it too. It is most likely a false positive. It is either an IE-spy-ad entry or Spyware Blaster.

I don't use the beta but sgrunt.biz is put there by IE-SPYAD.

I use IESpy-AD & had samre results on several computers / they were all using the beta defs released Sat for Spybot S&D. The one computer not updated today did not find the sgrunt...:)

I don't have IESpy-Ad on my machine, but I do have the new spybot beta, and every time I restart my computer I get the same sgrunt warning in spybot.
can't get rid on it, no matter what i do.

... all you should have to do is run a scan, highlight sgrunt when it shows up, right-click it and choose 'exclude this detection from further searches' ... worked for me, without a re-boot ... if it is a F/P as we suspect it should be removed in the next update ...
