Just installed antispyware beta, ran quick scan. It
reports searchsquire (Adware) registry entries

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchsquire.com

and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchsquire.com * 4

That key and value is put there to place searchsquire.com
in the restricted zone.

I don't think Antispyware should offer to remove it.
 
Rosenfeld,
I'm getting the same "false-positive"

Infected registry keys/values detected
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchsquire.com
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchsquire.com * 4

Actual Registry Entry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchsquire.com]
"*"=dword:00000004

Note: anything marked as "04" should *not* be removed, select: Ignore

Same problem. I'm setting it to "Ignore" for now.

These entries are from the "immunize"-feature of Spybot S&D. MAS detects
these entries of the restricted sites list from Spybot S&D. So I think this
is a false positive.
