Adware false positive

[Contumeliorus Florius]

Adware is detecting 'trueupdate.exe' as spyware. These are just files for
autopatching games from Matrixgames and are not spyware.

Report it as a false-positive, if it really is. The Lavasoft folks will investigate and
remove it from their detection database.
Register (if not already) & post your issue to the below forum.

Use the following email URL and send Lavasoft the file

mailto:research@lavasoft.de?subject=False%20Positi ve

In the body of the email fully explain why you believe this is a False Positive.

Attach the file as a password protected ZIP file with the password being; infected
{ password = infected }

Thanks, but too late as I have already posted to their forum and uploaded
the file there. I've been in contact with Matrixgames too and they assure
me it is a false positive.
