BUG: Misleading "Detected Spyware" message even when it didn't

When the nightly spyware scan is running it pops up a
little message box that says:

Detected Spyware on your system:

even when it hasn't detected anything. Yeah, I know, this
is like a heading of a list that has no entries. I get
that, but many people won't. It is only ONE PIXEL AWAY from
saying

Detected Spyware on your system.

so I think many people are falsly alarmed (yes, I was,
until I realized what was going on.)
 
That was my first take on this message as well, and another user posted that
he took it as an affirmative statement and was confused.

I hope they will change this one--they read the feedback here.
