I have been in contact with Dick, K6KR, the author of the updater
program who is travelling some distance and is away from a PC. Dick
asked if I could update the "Reflector" with our findings.
While Spysweeper reports a problem on my PC it seems that others are not
seeing anything with other products. Dick also tried the Spysweeper demo
version and didn't get a "hit" either. The latest hourly Spysweeper
updates are still reporting an issue if I try to run the install file.
I've reported the issue to Webroot, the authors of Spysweeper for their
appraisal. I also uploaded the file to http://www.virustotal.com which
tests against 32 anti-virus products (not necessarily spyware products).
The Virus total site didn't find anything wrong with it.
The problem is most likely a false report from the Spysweeper product.
