5807 is intended to fix this issue. I believe that it does, and that if you
are seeing this issue still, with 5807 supposedly in place, that the update
is not complete.
I need some confirmation of that, if possible.
Please go to Help, about, and hit the Diagnostics button, and post the line
ending in a pair of numbers separated by a "/"
Are these numbers equal?

Until you see 160/160 the 5807 is not fully in place, and I would ignore
scan results showing the false positive.

Hi,
I am having this problem, ran the MS Anti-Spyware updater which took me from
version 5805 to 5807. I re-ran a deep scan of the system, and it still
reports the same problem.
The Numbers Bill Sanderson asked for are:
Definitions Increment Version: 160/158
Thanks,
Brian Dierks

We are seeing the difficulties of the beta1 update system in action.
I've posted elsewhere in this group in the last minutes, a post with 4 lines
from Diagnostics.
You need to see 160/160, and the same results for the other three lines in
that post.
I can't give you a sure recipe for getting the definition update process to
work--it's been difficult throughout the beta--but keep trying file, check
for update. If there is an HTTP caching server under your control, ask that
its cache be flushed.
