Spybot S&D context menu scan: Nothing found!!??

I scanned the computer twice with same result.
Anybody else found this

Hello,

thank you for reporting this issue.
I can confirm this false positive, it will be corrected with the next detection update scheduled for Wednesday 2010-04-21.

Until then please set Spybot S&D to ignore this detection via the scan results context menu.

Hi Yodama

Thank you for looking in to this.

Do you know why there is a difference in the scanning results between Spybot S&D and the context menu scan? The context menu scan newer flagged this file as infected.

hello,

Spybot S&D and the context menu scan partly use different attributes during scan if not explicitly directed (by detection rule) not to.
In case of this false positive Spybot S&D used weak detection parameters which resulted in the false positive.

I'm also getting a detection on zlibwapi.dll, but in my case, it's different version:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\zlibwapi.dll
Version: 1.2.3.0

MD5: 484e0b4a5cd6edba3c25231a86fcce89

I'm hoping this is the same false detection.

hello,

yes, it is the same false positive.
