My company produces a software product which uses an SMTP
control for Visual Basic called 'SMTP Control' (version
4.00.0020). When a Spyware Scan is performed, it detects
a false positive, because the registry entries for that
control are shown as if it was infected by the trojan
Holar.G. (That trojan uses the same SMTP library). It
will be annoying for our customers if they use Microsoft
Anty-spyware and find that false positive.
Could you please solve that bug? Thank you very much!

The above link is used to dispute a listing by Microsoft Antispyware, and
also to get your application listed as a known application at install time,
at the current time.
