Sam Spade is the most wonderful tracing software I've ever come across. PestPatrol flags this as a false postive, but Sam Spade is, without a doubt, innocent of all charges.
In fact, it's the darling of many a Helper and up here, and without it, part of our functionality would be lost.

Where did you see that??...you think that SamSpade is a "bad" program simply because it has ads...

When you say "your software", what program are you referring to?

I downloaded XClean Micro, ran it and SamSpade popped up as one of the "evil" apps it found. I, of course, told it to ignore SamSpade, but was curious as to why it was flagged! :-)Where did you see that??

That'll work.No clue. False positive I would suppose. I'll point the XClean developer to this thread.

When I clicked where it says "click here and select 'open from current location'" I didn't have that option. I'm running Win2k, and Netscape 7.1.... Just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks for your report. After a little investigation, we have have removed detection from our database and update all scanning engines (including the online one)No clue. False positive I would suppose. I'll point the XClean developer to this thread.
