Trend micro housecall

[sggaunt]

No problems, and HJT log is clear, but I decided to give Housecall a try and it shows these two things.

FREELOADER_ROINGS
ADWARE_SIDESEARCH

Googling reveals very little on either of these (in English anyway). Except perhaps that they are false positives.

The most worrying thing about this is that Housecall gives you no info on where or in what it 'finds' these infections.
So letting it delete files automatically might no be a good idea.
Does anyone have any info on this?

I've had Housecall give me a number of false-positives on applications I have installed on my PC. Both WireShark and Dameware have been incorrectly identified as malware.

Housecall certainly seems to be prone to false-positives.

Also post hijackthis logfile on here if you can. Just do not attempt to fix anything on it unless you know what your doing as not everything it shows is bad.
