    March's windows 7 update KB4012215 might cause a false postive in MSE

    I just did a mse quick scan on windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with MSE and got the "Preliminary scan results show that malicious or potentially unwanted software might exist on your system" and nothing in the Quarantined or All detected items. Seems I'm not the only one http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic...ostive-in-mse/
    I did a system restore to before that update was installed and the false positive is gone, I guess M$ is making things hard for anybody not moving to 10.

    I did find that as soon as it scanned svchost the notice came up. Adding wininet.dll to the Exclude files did not give the false positive when the kb4012215 was installed and the scan run.

    Hope this might help someone that runs across the same issue
