I got a warning as described.

Can you confirm that this is a false positive. Does that mean there is no malware on my machine???

Thanks for your help.

Hello there is no Spybot S&D detection rule which detects the file. The information you provided on the file suggests that it is a legit Microsoft file.

If you are using another security software it is very likely that you are also using the live protection provided by that security software. In that case you should deactivate Teatimer since more than one live protection can cause low performance and like in this case errors during live protection scans.
The main scanners are usually not affected.

To disable the TeaTimer do the following:

start Spybot S&D
switch to advanced mode
navigate to tools - resident
uncheck the checkbox for Resident TeaTimer to shutdown TeaTimer and remove it from system start
