Spybot 1.6.0 on Windows XP SP3 is detecting Avira Premium Security Suite's firewall service as Win32.Delf.qmw. I've checked the file that the ImagePath key points at. VirusTotal confirms that it is clean:

Any advice?

Thank you for reporting this false positive.
It will be fixed with the upcoming detection update this week.

It looks like the trojan horse Win32.Delf.qmw is missusing the service name of the Antivir firewall.
 
I do also have the same Problem.

Phew .. im really glad, the problem has already been detected here. Otherwise that would have provided me a sleepless night.
Some days ago, it detected nothing. After I updated today and started a scan, it reported:

Im just wondering that the results differ concerning the second hit:

ControlSet002 <-> ControlSet003

Anybody knows any reason for this ?

Also the series of numbers at:
2008-07-30 blindman.exe (1.0.0.8) differs

The ControlSet keys are driver/service/etc. configurations - one is the current, another may be the "last known good", etc. The numbers will vary from system to system; CurrentControlSet is just an alias for the current configuration.
