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.
