MediaTicketsCDT False Positive?

I chose to Ignore rather than remove. Then I uninstalled
IE-SPYAD2. I rebooted and ran a full scan again and
nothing was detected. The location of the registry
entries detected as MediaTicketsCDT is the same as the
restricted sites installed in the registry by IE-SPYAD2.
For now I think that I will stick with using the MVPS
Hosts file with the addition of SpyBot S&D Hosts file
entries.
 
Go ahead and put IE Spyads back. I did some research on
it and you are correct. It does put stuff in the
Restricted Sites list and if that is where AntiSpy is
detecting the stuff then it is a false positive so the
correct response is to tell it to ignore it. I thought
they had fixed this nonsense long ago. Are you perhaps
running an earlier version of AntiSpy? I have installed
in on several PCs recently on which I also installed
SpywareBlaster (which does the same thing) and haven't
seen any false detections in the Restricted Sites list.

Which Microsoft Antispyware version, and what definitions?

I haven't retested this issue since the latest definitions were released.
They've fixed one other false positive reported here--the one for a simple
empty script file.
 
Thanks - I just wanted some idea whether this was still an issue in the
current definitions.

This has been brought to the attention of the developers--we'll just have to
wait for them to get it fixed, I guess.
