Full Version: Preventing AdWatch from blocking a program

AdWatch started to block a program called Say The time that I have been using for a number of years. It lists it as a Win32trojan.
I opened AdAware and clicked on AdWatch and then went to Edit the Rules. I foud the program listed as Blocked and I changed it to Allow and saved it, but the program will not open. I am a user of AdAware Plus and I hoped I could get some support but I don't know where to find it.

Hello eliasg99

Thank you for posting. If you scan the file with Ad-Aware does it detect it too? Also could you please zip the file and upload it here on the forum.

I scanned my system and AdAware showed it as a win32 trojan just as AdWatch had done; however this version of Say The Time has been on my computer since Aug, 2008 and Ad Aware never listed it before and the program has been functioning normally until recently. I am attaching SayTimeMain.zip as requested.

Hello

Thank you for uploading the file. We will reinvestigate it and if it is found to be a false positive it will be removed from detection with the next definition update.
