Possible False Positive

[gman121]

I believe I have found a false positive with the search results in the main program.

Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium
Browser: IE7
Spybot Version 1.6
Update: Latest Available
The False Positive is occuring only while runnng the main scan engine. I went to that location on my computer and scanned with Spybot and it came out clean.

Did all kinds of investigations and have not found spylocked.

This appears to be a false positive, since Spylocked does not appear to be involved. But it is quite uncommon for a legit security software to put its quarantine folder directly into the program files folder.
You should determine to which application this folder belongs.

I looked into what exactly is creating the file C: \ Program Files \ Quarantine and it came out to be Mc Afee Anti Virus. This proves definite spylocked to be a false positive. Will this be updated in the program?

Thanks,

Greg
