Ghostery for IE Version 3.0.0 is Out! | The Purple Box
Well, publish all file sizes and hash values [SHA1 as well as MD5! SHA256?] and we can check to see if the AV flag is valid or false! [And file a false positive as well !!]
Should Process Explorer, etc., find any DLL files loaded in any relevant executables? Which DLLs in addition to the resident AV hooks? What hash values? Any TCP/IP traffic to remote hosts? What IP addresses?

Hi Sherglu,
Unfortunately, we do not control the "packaging" process of our IE extension. We use an extension building framework just for our IE extension called Crossrider. If you have any suggestions oh how we could still do all these checks, please share it with us.
Thanks for using Ghostery!Comment -

I’m
sad
Ghostery 3.0.0.0 for IE seems to install "Updater20900.exe" as a scheduled task which is considered by several A/V as a risk, and shown on https://www.virustotal.com/ as well as a risk by lots of A/V !!!
I'm not using Ghostery 3.0.0.0 for IE but lots of french users who had installed it very recently have the same problem, and would like to know what's this joke ...

Would be great If anyone from Ghostery Team could give some reply to this (big) problem ...

Hi neophil, thanks for using Ghostery.
We're working with AV makers to add Ghostery signatures to their databases, but it takes pretty much forever. The Updater process you refer to is a task created by Crossrider application framework and its what Ghostery for IE uses to update itself when we release updates for our users. We get that this generic name lights up AVs, but at the moment, we're very limited to how we could change it. Let me know if you have any questions. -
