The latest detections of Spybot S&D are detecting a simple (misconfigured) application shortcut as the "RingRing" dialer.
The detection was on a shortcut called "Studio.lnk" on the Desktop of all users. The shortcut pointed to an executable called "Studio.exe" in a directory that didn't exist (the program was moved). These are few first lines of the scan results:

After I corrected the shortcut to point to the correct directory the false detection went away. If I change the shortcut back to a wrong path the detection comes back.
