hello,

this sounds like a false positive with the heuristics part of the single file scanner. To analyze this issue please email some of the ini files that get flagged as Brontok.ab to detections@spybot.info

we received your email, and can confirm that it is a false positive with the heuristics part of the single file scanner (right click scan).
this will be fixed with the detection update scheduled for 2009-02-25
