Archived from groups: alt>comp>virus (more info?)

With the latest definition update from AdAware, it's now
identifying 20 files from Enigma's Spyhunter program as
adware. These two programs have been coexisting for
some time. Is there a way to have AdAware ignore
Spyhunter?

Thanks!
Scott

They're probably either definition files (which sometimes render FPs, as
was the case with a foreign scanner scanning Panda's def file) or
quarantine files. It is possible to have AdAware ignore files, however.
It's under the scan now, customize scan option, where you can set it
to ignore certain folders (i.e. spyhunter).

If it don't work, hit it.
If it still don't work, kick it.
If it works after that, than it doesn't matter if that helped, what's
important is it works.

Go into Help Index and find Ignore......should work. I use it in Spybot,
but not in AdAware, so had to check.
