Hi,
Not sure if you guys are aware of this, but because Anti-Beacon modifies the "hosts" file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc many anti-malware programs flag the file for being hijacked. It doesn't specifically point back to spybot, but it does say you are infected with malware no matter how many times you scan and remove which can be worrying for some users. Attached is a screenshot of my hosts file 12476
