Should I be concerned? The exact answer depends on the number of files found per program, the types of files found, the programs detected, the category of the program, and the location where the files were found. First, verify the list of loaded datasets. Did Gargoyle detect a program that could be installed?
For example, it is highly likely an Anti-Forensics tool or encryption program is installed on your system without you knowingly installing it as part of a standard application. Second, were a large number or percentage of files found for an application?
A high number of found files for a particular program would indicate a higher likelihood of the program installation. However, a larger percentage associated with a product with only a few files may not lead to the same conclusion.
Third, where were the files found on the system? Are they in an obviously named directory, in the System directory, or buried in an obscure directory? The location of the file may provide more details about the use of the file. Fourth, the possibility of false positive detections must be examined. What types of files were found?
Although every effort is taken to ensure that the Gargoyle Datasets are up-to-date and accurate, false positive detections may occur since users may have software installed that we have not tested. This usually occurs with simple, small, common files such as icon, image or installation files. However, if you find any known false positive detections with Gargoyle, please report these occurrences to our support staff so that they can update and ensure the accuracy of all Gargoyle Datasets.
