Hello,

when i was updating the acrobat reader to 7.07 the following happened
view the phrases of my system log

the following i have translated from dutch to english

the Planner for Automated LiveUpdate-service could not start due to
folllowing error:
the system could not find the file.

Foutcode; 1000008e, parameter1: c0000005, parameter2: 887299a0, parameter3:
8891873c, parameter4: 00000000.

Within the updating phase my system rebooted completely

I'am running both the malious malware scanner and the latest windows defender
beta2 of microsoft

Did anybody see this before
 
I'm running Windows Defender on a number of machines which either have 7.07
in place, or have been upgraded to 7.07 while Windows Defender is in place
and active, and I haven't seen this. All of my machines are English
versions of both Windows and Adobe Reader, fwiw--not sure whether Reader is
available in other languages, and whether you are using those versions.

So--just to say that I haven't seen this issue, myself.
 
Hello Bill,

I use XP Home SP2 Dutch with all latest patches, fixes and updates
I also use the latest acrobat reader 7.07 in the Dutch language.
After the crash XP noticed that it had to recover from that crash.
I find it strange that the defender marks adobe software as malicious
I think it is a bug in the detection rules.
 
I suspect that it is simply describing it as "unknown"--the surrounding
language, unfortunately, is the same for all detections, and describes stuff
as malicious when, in fact, it is not known.

One of the things I like about Defender is that I can disable these dumb
faststart programs. As far as I am concerned, they are malicious. Most
install programs don't ask you if you want them. And everyone of them wants
to access the Internet separately to look for updates. They slow down the
start-up of Windows and some remain in memory. I get rid of them all. I
like that I can easily disable or remove them with Defender.
