    After the latest update for Giant it is flagging asycfilt.dll as WindUpdates.MediaPass (adaware),threat level high.Both A squared and Ewido find nothing.
    Googled but received conflicting views,some saying get rid of it,other sites saying it's a needed ms dll.Anyone know for sure on it's status?TIA.

    Did you mean Microsoft AntiSpyware? Giant no longer exists?

    Thanks for that Chaslang.Yep,still using Giant here.I think it runs out in a coupla months.Pity MS got hold of it.Updates are still coming in so the last update must be generating a false positive.My other scanners don't flag it so I'll just leave it.

    You're welcome.

    You should just update to MS Antispyware. It's free!
