I run Spybot everyday and everyday the Bredolab.fb virus is back, can this be a false positve that Spybot is detecting and really I am not infected?

I read up on the virus and it says it has something to do with Facebook but even after Spybot detects the virus and then fixes the problems the virus is back the next time I run Spybot regardless if I had used Facebook or not.

If Spybot detects the virus and fixes the problem and I reboot the pc and then run Spybot again without going to any websites Spybot detects the virus again, could Spybot not be getting totally rid of the virus or just a false positve?

This is what Spybot is finding everytime I run it regardless if I reboot the pc right after I fix the problem, it never goes away, am I infected and Spybot is not really getting rid of the virus?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectD\MostRecentApplication\Name=...IEXPLORE.EXE...

It is found in the Registry

There is a false positives section of this forum.
You could post and ask about that in there.

This gives instructions on how to report a false positive:
