Alex, 

 

This is not entirely correct.  My laptop is a HP with English (United
States) Version of Windows XP SP3 installed and winlogon.exe was
detected as a FP.

This definition update was posted at around 10 PM last night and was out
for approximately 90 minutes.  There was a false positive on a Zbot
detection.  The detection was pulled as soon as security response
discovered the FP, and was replaced with 5475.  

 

The issue only affects certain foreign language versions of Windows. 

 

We maintain a robust whitelist repository of all versions of Windows in
every language.  How this detection passed through our false positive
testing is still unknown and we are researching the issue.  It is
obviously a very high priority internally to figure out how and why this
happened.

Anyone who runs Vipre Enterprise should make sure to update to 5475.
5474 is quarantining winlogon.exe and blue screening computers.  Check

Sunbelt is working on this as I type this.
