False Positive?

I just updated today, and scanned with spybot, and I recieved a positive for something called funwebproducts. I did a little searching and found that it was those smilies and stuff. However, I have never downloaded anything like that, and my computer has none of the symptoms. I scanned with spysweeper, avg, and ad-aware, and found nothing, so I'm thinking it was a false positive?
 
Hello.

Please produce a short log (showing items flagged)

  • Open SpyBot.

Cheers.
 
I had forgotten, it also found results for some other things that didn't turn up in the other scans. Anyway, here's the results:

hi,
it is not a false positive, FunwebProducts and MyWay.WebSearch are related and are categorized as PUPS (possibly unpopular software).
The usually lure with smilies , screensavers and other stuff and install toolbars for the internet browser and email client without properly stating this. Additionally the way these toolbars work show that the installation of the software can be identified by a unique id.
If you do not know how this got on your computer you should remove it.

Other scanners may have excluded this from their detection because FunwebProducts/MyWay.WebSearch may be installed intentionally by some users.
 
I don't think that other scanners would omit mywebsearch. I've had the toolbar before and used another scanner to get rid of it. I don't think scanners like ad-aware and spysweeper would omit funwebproducts, seeing as they are both highly touted spyware scanners as well. People install spyware without knowing it all the time, I'm sure the creators of those products don't hold it against them and not tell them.

I also show none of the symptoms of either product (no web bar, no popups, changed icons, hijacked browser, etc.), so I'm thinking that there is something else going on.
