We have confirmed that with Friday�s definitions set #526, CounterSpy version 2.1 users may encounter problems opening a command prompt box or running programs that open command prompts.
Active Protection (AP) in CSC 2.1 with this definition set will erroneously report that CMD.EXE is a trojan (Trojan-Proxy.Agent.CL), then attempt (and fail) to quarantine the file. Although the quarantine action will fail, these AP prompts can become tiresome, especially if a program that is dependent on running a component from a command prompt fails.
This bug is fixed in today�s definition update, definition #527. To access the update, simply update your definitions in CounterSpy.
Please note that on-demand scans of the PC are unaffected by this glitch and CSC will not detect CMD.EXE during a Quick Scan or Full Scan. This glitch affects only CounterSpy 2.1's Active Protection. Also, our testing indicates that CounterSpy 1.5 is completely unaffected by this glitch.
