Hi m8.

Could you make a screenshot of the BOClean popup, and post it here please ??? So that Kevin can look at it when he comes online :slight_smile:

If you are sure it is a false positive you could try the Program Excluder :

On 2nd thought …

I googled a little bit with “Nirsoft” and all kind of things came up. I don’t know if this is realy a false positive :-\

Aaah, i see now :-[
Thank you for the info and the link ! I will be more cautious with nirsoft now…

That said, seems the proggie is not a malware by himself but could be use as, or by a real malware using it… (sorry for my poor English)

Thanks again, nice to see the quality of the support here (:CLP)

Absolutely correct. :slight_smile: So, if you purposely downloaded it and intend to use it, just add it to BOClean’s Program Excluder.

Cheers,
