*All* results are false positives

On my PC, All results identified by MS Anti-Spyware are
false positives:

1. BackWeb - updates software for my Logitech camera.
2. CasinoOnNet - I installed it from the web site.
3. Everest Poker - I installed it from the web site. It
is NOT a "CashDialer".
4. Casino Lux - I installed it from the web site, and have
used it for years. Not a "CashDialer".
5. RealVNC - I installed it from the web and use it to
access my system from my Mac.
 
So what was "false" about these reports?

Was the default action suggested appropriate--i.e. did it default to remove
for any of these?

Were the descriptions accurate, in your view?
 
1. BackWeb is considered by many to be spyware. See this
link for more information:

2. The same for CasinoOnNet. See this link:

3. & 4. While not applications I am personally familiar
with, these are the type of applications that tend to
harbor adware/spyware. Of course without viewing them
myself, or researching them further, I cannot say absolutely.
5. RealVNC could be a threat, due to its nature, if the
individual did not know it was running on their pc. It has
been used in combination with trojans to give an
unauthorized person access to another person's computer.

So, as you can see, these are not neccesarily false positives.
