Panda TruPrevent comes infected?

Hi,


I ran Spyware Doctor 3.5 and it says I had the Lazar.c trojan in a registry


item that had a Panda TruPrevent item. Spyware Doctor then removed it but it


came back.



I uninstalled via the Control pannel Panda TruPrevent (also manually removed


the remainents of the program folder). Then reran Spyware Doctor. Got a


clean slate. Next I downloaded and reinstalled Panda TruPrevent 2006 and ran


Spyware Doctor. It found I was re-infected. Uninstalled as above with clean


results from Spyware Doctor.


Panda TruPrevent says it does not use viral signatures but detects via


behavior. How then is SD giving me this result. Is it a false positive.


Panda has not responded to my e-mail. My system is a Dell 2.3GHZ Pentium


Windows XP Prof. Note this whole thing started with SD finding Panda


Trupevent 2005 infected. So I downloaded the new "Improved" version. You


would think I should get a Lazar.D Trojan upgrade from the Lazar.C Trojan.


:) But no the new 2006 seems to have the same one?? Is this a false reading


from SD?
