What does it mean when it says a program is under
investigation after it finds spyware such as Kazaa?
 
Can you post the wording? I haven't seen a detection of Kazaa under build
..509, and I don't know what it is now saying.

Use of Ctrl-A, and right-click copy, and then paste, may work.

Bill, with latest definitions this word is used.

For example Kazaa gives this. Install it and run scan.

Within helpfile there is nothing about "Investigation".

Maybe a new 5$ definition.......? ;)
 
Well, it is Peer to Peer software, and those programs are known as a harbour
for spyware and viruses so it is just being suspicious of usual routes of
infestations.
 
ok this is what is says word for word under the "Spyware
Threats" selection...

KaZaA
Type: Under Investigation
Threat Level: Moderate

Thanks! One of the things mentioned in the release of the new version was
that the "type" section had been expanded.

I guess they haven't decided on the final categorization of some items yet.
