    Do you mean that the update will fix the damage done by "fixing" the false positive (which is what I hope), or that it will fix/prevent future detections of the false positive?

    Lightbulb Apparent Manual Fix

    Fernando suggests the following fix herethat seems to work for me so far:

    1 - create a text file (with notepad) with this text:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\TabBtnWL]
    @=""
    "Disconnect"="OnDisconnectEvent"
    "DllName"="TabBtnWL.dll"
    "Logoff"="OnLogoffEvent"
    "Logon"="OnLogonEvent"
    "Reconnect"="OnReconnectEvent"
    "Shutdown"="OnShutdownEvent"
    "StartShell"="OnStartShellEvent"
    "Startup"="OnStartupEvent"

    2 - save it with any name you want and extension “reg”, like example.reg

    3 - double click the file, and respond yes to the question “are you sure to add…”

    4 - reboot and you should get everything functional
    Thanks to Mickey Segal for pointing this out to me.

    If anyone has insight on what the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\Notify\Sebring Registry key does, please reply! I'm wondering what else Spybot may have damaged in trying to fix this false positive.

    Also, even though Spybot has caused a problem here, I still want to say that I appreciate their anti-spyware service, which all-in-all has been very helpful and generous.
