Good Catch Dave Grin
 
I do believe your right but those particular ones wouldn't be as urgent because they are concept files, for a possible exploit just the same way I wouldn't be upset if the GRC file wasn't there.  But I am sure Magnus will get to it quickly as it is his style.

Leaktest is actually not detected because it simulates the way a trojan operates, but rather because it's a harmless application that is widely used and can be utilized to test that TrojanHunter is working correctly by anyone who wants to do that. People are already writing in from time to time wondering why Leaktest is detected as a trojan so I don't think adding the additional leak tests would improve that situation very much.

Magnus,
 
Sorry to be picky, but I thought that you contradicted yourself in that last post!?!

Which is right? Or am I misreading it. Either way if Leaktest is not included Dav could simply add it to the Trojan list by capturing the fingerprint.

I still can't see what I'm misreading, I thought that the two bits were contradictory! I'll trust you on this one I think  Grin
