Spybot Anti-Beacon for Windows 10

[Sega32x]

Is anyone else getting a false positive from the built-in Windows 10 anti-virus that Anti-Beacon is infected with SettingsModifier:Win32/HostsFileHijack? Obviously because it writes to the hosts file I can see why it might think it's a virus but I've checked the file and there's nothing nefarious being added to it.

I've been getting this for a while now and keep having to tell Windows to ignore it. I've used other virus scanners to check Anti-Beacon and it always comes up clean so I'm sure it's a false positive, but it would be nice to know if there's some way to permanently fix it.

I learned about this last month whilst showing Spybot to my cousin who also has Defender on. I wanted so badly to tell him to turn Windows Defender off, but money is tight for him and Defender is the only free thing that will warn you of an infection before having to scan for one (if someone knows of one that I am not aware of please tell me I would love to know).
With that said, I am not at all surprised that Defender is having a negative reaction to a sudden injection of code written specifically to block Windows spying tools from collecting data, which counts for at least somewhat of a significant portion of their profits. So until Defender is out of your life, I don't think it's going to stop trying its best to prevent the rewrite of the hosts file.

I to all,
I have been using spybot free for a long time, but updating to the last version of search and destroy I unfortunately also installed antibeacon.
I would like to change some settings in beacon, but I can't find the application anywhere, it starts only at start up and closes after a few seconds. I tried to uninstall all spybot search and destroy and the antibeacon remained !!! How do I get it out of the way???
