Re: False Positives UpdateStar

Hello,

Unfortunately, UpdateStar Driver is tendancious. A recent analysis of the setup still shows that it bundles PUP. (for example : http://www.herdprotect.com/drivers.exe-9655a4ccf88f7cd59f6e4830087e40658c3604c6.aspx )

Regards,

De mon coté, c'est Comodo qui m'as mis en quarantaine Updatestar ProductKey finder et Updatestar Appcleaner

Re: False Positives UpdateStar

Comodo détecte souvent updatestar en tant que adware, c'est surtout un faux-positif par Comodo,

À la fin de l'été 2015, j'ai installé Comodo Internet Security et touts les loiciels UpdateStar,

Mais comme Comodo étant déja installé, en installant plus tard les logiciels UpdateStar (product key finder 8, updatestar drivers, updatestar local backup, etc...), comodo me l'as detecté com PUP indésirable, faux-positif, comodo supprimme les logiciels UpdateStar

Pas grave...
