Ad aware detects NoAdware5 which is on my computer as a threat & removed it. I have been using this for some time & it seems to pick up a lot of spyware, Is it really a threat itself?

Guide for posting false positives

Hi Beddows,

Could you please attach a scan log so we can reveiw what was found?

You can find instructions for sending a log here: http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=18033

I was unable to find it, There is no documents & setting directory on the PC it is running Vista, I did a search of the entire c drive fro AD*.log & found nothing.

OK, I reinstalled Noadware. Adwatch tagged it as malicious software. i ran ad aware again & it deleted it again. This time I clicked the log link before closing it & saved the text file which I have attached.

Ad-Aware AE uses the file name Scan_<date information>.log
