Latest updater reported as Spyware - update

[Dave, G4AON]

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.

Dave...

In Spysweeper go to the windows system tab and uncheck the auto shield for exe
programs.  The system should then ASK if you want to continue when you attempt to
run an exe file.  That's what I had to do and it worked fine.
