thanks achen
i Untick the checkbox for "Include 'information Only' low level Threats in scan results and it did the trick alls clean now , should i tick checkbox back in a couple of weeks and see if it is picking it up again , and if so do you think i should put it in the ignore list thanks mrgigabyte

i am one of those who believes that "popcap" is perfectly safe, despite the fact that some antimalware-vendors flag it..

if you want to keep "popcap" on your computer, you can add it to SD's "ignore list".. one way to do that is, in SD's scan-results where "popcap" is flagged, rightclick on "popcap" and select "add to ignore list"..

if you want to "uninstall" "popcap", go to "c/windows/downloaded program files" and rightclick on the "popcap" activex control, there, and select "remove"..

thanks redwolfe_98

i do have popcap games in one of my computers and the other computer for a little bit of time , in my new computer i dont see the active x where you said to look so i think it might be leftovers , anyway i will put it it my ignore list i feel the same way as you said and i do have programs protecting me also and they are aways updated

thanks again redwolfe_98
