Qu1gm1r3 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) Hi guys,first post here so please excuse me if this is in the wrong location....anyway could someone explain to me why threatfire is accusing sidebar.exe as being a "Trojan.Win32.Patched"...?,it appeared when i tried setting up the weather gadget.I understand the false positive thing as well as the fact that the app has been ported to run on xp...but i take these threats very seriously and i would like to know more on this one.I clicked the following page -- ,hit the "!!! MOVED HERE !!!" link and downloaded from medfireAlso i got this ...it is a trojan isnt it?? ,how do i get rid of the registry entry?

Kelsenellenelvian Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 It's being tagged as a trojan because it had to be modified to run on XP...Don't like it? Don't use it.As for getting roid of the reg entry? Your av did that already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
