Hi all

Using KAV for Windows Workstations 6.0.3.837, latest version and latest virus definitions as of today (13/8/2009)
We did a fresh installation of Visual Studio 2008 with Compact Framework SDK (for development on PDAs).
Whenever we start the PDA emulation in Visual Studio (for debugging), Kaspersky catches a RootShell danger and quarantines the Visual Studio executable !
("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe")

This did not happen on the previous installation (but the workstation was completely reinstalled), and I don't know where the difference is.
For the moment, I am going to add an exception to my group strategy, but this can only be a short term workaround of course.

I don't know what the correct way is to submit false positives ?

Regards

Helmut
It looks at a false positve.

Add this program to the trusted zone.

I hope that this issue is solved with the next update.

I have, but I don't like this kind of workarounds.
