Hi essexboy,

I don't know if you uploaded the program file to virustotal or jotti for analysis, because the DrWeb pre-link scanner comes up with this:

    2006-11-29 21:13:06 MSK     
   
Download News Support
     
File size: 349.8K

download.php?id=1 - archive ZIP
>download.php?id=1/COMCTL32.OCX - OK
>download.php?id=1/RogueRemover.dll - OK
In file >download.php?id=1/RogueRemover.exe probably found virus BACKDOOR.Trojan

I want to know it is a 100% clear download to run it on my machine. Can you clarify,

Damian

If you can't trust Malwarebytes who can you trust.  There is another link at MajorGeeks http://www.majorgeeks.com/RogueRemover_d5360.html

Yep it is good I have run on my system Damian and spoken to the Author

Funny thing essexboy, because the second link is not flagged by DrWeb's, so that must mean that it is with the download site or in what comes additional with that proggie. Tell them about my findings, and do not advise the first download link. The program may be super but the download may be corrupted. DrWeb's do not lie, and it cannot be a FP in this case.

Results of the unzipped executable downloaded from the author's site:





I think its a false positive Damian.  I also scanned with AdAware, Super AntiSpyware, and Spyware Terminator and nothing was found.
