Spybot S&D didn't.Also picked up something called

You need to look at the actual path and entry which is identified as
SearchSquire. In the instances I have seen so far, it has been a false
positive--an entry placed by Spybot Search & Destroy as a preventative
measure.

About the RAT, I would look carefully at the path and code found, and
compare it to what other reputable vendors describe for this.

Getting such a possible threat quarantined is a good idea, but check
carefully for whether this is a possible false positive.
