AdAware issuing False Positives

Users of AdAware Personal spyware are having problems with False Positives. The 09/08/06 update v268.12.2/442 seems to be generating false positive virus warnings for both the AdAware and Spybot programs, reporting that they are infected with Backdoor.Netbus.

Nobody at this stage knows the answer to the problem. The suggestion for the time being is to wait before you remove anything permanently. Just ignore them for now until Lavasoft Research has had a chance to look, and then issue a corrected update.

See examples of false positives and discussion of problem at forum HERE.
