I'm concerned that it might be a false positive since NOD32 has not detected it and ZoneAlarmPro has not reported blocking unauthorized info out, and adaware has not found pieces of it elsewhere.

One detection. Using Ad-Aware AE


says:
win32trojanPWSagent

registry entry HKCR:vsenchancer.chl


1)recommended quarantine (which I did)

2)is there a reason to quarantine rather than simply remove this threat? are there other complications?

3)is it possible that this is a false positive since there are no other significant finds related to this keylogger?

4)any idea - if this really is a keylogger - why it has not triggered my ZoneAlarm Pro (by trying to send unauthorized info out) or where to ask about this if you don't know?


Thanks in advance for helping out.

Hello Ancientwizard

Thank you for your report. That key detected is not malicious in itself and should not have been detected without anything else. It will be removed from detection with the next update. I will also pass this along to the developers so they could have a look at why it was detected in the first place.
