    For everyone's info, I just updated Adaware - new definitions are available and they seem to have solved the SPYWARENO false positive problem. I scanned my PC and nothing was detected, so hopefully if you had this problem like me, just update Adaware, rescan your PC and the false positives should stop.

    (not sure if it is ok to post this on this forum but thought it might help everyone who has been pulling their hair out over the last few days?!)

    Thanks again to Bjgarrick who helped me out over the weekend trying to get rid of this annoying malware which turned out to be a false positive wild goose chase all along! :)

    Thanks for the info! I figured they would fix it in the next update!

    We have known for days that it was a false positive and have been telling everyone to ignore it.

    No problem.

    Keep up the good work! If it wasn't for the help I've received from you guys in the past, I would have thrown my computer out of the window on more than one occasion by now! :eek:
