see Anti-spyware: false positive (http://outpostfirewall.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17277) in the general plugins forum.
Please review the Outpost 3.0 - What to expect: Anti-Spyware FAQ (http://www.outpostfirewall.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15061#spy-faq) for details on reporting false positives.
It seems the mere existance of a key rather than the actual contents or context is checked sometimes. I have several false positives based on the installer used instead of the program installed. [Reading the keys clearly points to a known program and install/uninstalls adds and removes the detection :rolleyes: ]
It is remotely possible a search for the "implemented categories" for the CLSID failed. Giving Agnitum the benefit of a doubt, the search was made and the ID was unknown to them? Flagging the implementer would be a more proper approach. It would probably be a bad idea to "fix" this since I believe that would disable attachment scans.
One thing to be aware of that a false positive on one system is not necessarily a false positive on another.
thanks
