Blueyonder / PCGuard

Just a quickie - I was at a friends' house, and found he had this
installed (he's actually quite good on the subject of security
normally, has several machines, with this on one as an experiment...)

Just thought it might be worth mentioning its prone to false positives
(as checked with Sysclean from Trend, with the latest virus sigs) -
and i`m also a little dubious about its detection generally.

Hi Colin

I'd be interested in knowing more detail on any of these issues. If
you can ask your friend to report it to the BY technical support team
they can get it raised for further investigation.

Thanks



Alex

Cheers Alex - i`ll have a word with him, sadly its now been removed
from his system, and I can`t remember which specific file it said was
infected - although ISTR he had another issue with it as well...
