    Default Advanced searchbar, may be freedownloadmanager instead?

    I recently removed what Spybot calls 'Advanced Searchbar' in my scan, but when I checked the regisrty location of the malware in the Recovery section it said:
    AdvancedSearchBar
    Class ID
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Vicman Software
    A google of Vicman Software made me realise that they make FreeDownloadManager which afaik is entirely safe and has no malware bundled.

    Am I correct, and if so is there anything else I need to do to restore this removal other than selecting it from the list in recovery and clicking 'recover selected items'? I mean, has anything other than that particular registry entry been changed?

    This detections has been a false positive and will be fixed with the next update scheduled for the end of the week
