When I scan individual files Spybot has started seeing win32.Agent.wsg in every file I ever scan but only in the Heuteristic section of the scanner results never in the known spyware section at the top of the results list. What is going on? Is there anyway to sort it out? I have tried scanning my computer and unistalling and re-installing Spybot but nothing helps.

Confirmed (Heuristics): win32.agent.wsg false positive? (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=53325)

It will be fixed in this Wednesday's update.

Thanks. At least I know I can ignore it now.

Since Wednesday, 11/18/2009 definitions update was the one that corrected the false positive, if you are still getting it you shouldn't ignore it. At least, send it in for a test.
