Hi,

The latest beta is detecting our Delphi-based application as a Warez P2P
client. How do I remedy this situation.

Regards,

Release Notes for Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Betª 1)

* Windows AntiSpyware may prompt you to remove some peer-to-peer (P2P) file
sharing progrªms. If you choose to remove such a program, Microsoft Windows
AntiSpyware deletes the entire contents of the Program Files directory that
relates to the P2P progrªm.
Because some P2P programs store downloaded files in a default directory
under Program Files, this might remove all files downloaded through the
file-sharing progrªm.
For example, KaZaA stores .exe and .dll files at C:\Program Files\Kªzªª.
Downloaded files are stored at C:\Program Files\Kazaa\My Shared Fºlder.
If you use Windows AntiSpyware to remove KaZaA, all files and folders under
C:\Program Files\Kazaa are remºved.
If you have installed any P2P file sharing programs, we recommend that you
make a backup copy of your downloaded files before running Windows
AntiSpywªre.

I hope that (this) post is helpful, let us know how it works ºut.

Engel's posted the right links--use the false positive link to report this.
This isn't the first time this has happened--I think it is a Delphi piece
that is triggering the detection.
