.ico files still being reported as Watchful Eye, severe

I sent a false positive report some time ago about system scans finding some
simple .ico files and reporting them as Watchful Eye severe. Two signature
definitions updates later they are still reported as such.

In my case these are in fact Shell32.dll icons extracted using Nirsoft
Iconextract (only 2 of the 243 extracted icons are flagged!), but I've seen
other posts where other .ico files have been reported as Watchful Eye.

I've set them to always allow, but could this be fixed, please.
 
I can confirm that update 1.13.1282.6 did not flag the .ico files. Thanks for
fixing that.

Now can you please fix the updating process?

Whether using manual check for update from within WD or going to Microsoft
Updates and getting it from there I get update successful message, but event
viewer/applications log shows error MSInstaller Event ID 1024, WD signature
update could not be installed (error code 1603), and About WD shows old
version for update number.
Only after shutting down WD and applying fix of KB 915015, will the manual
update actually work (successful update log in event viewer, About WD shows
new update number).
I've had to do this for every update since WD beta 2 was released.

XP SP2 all updates. stand alone PC, one user account (admin rights),
connecting to internet with USB DSL modem, no router, ZA free firewall
(Generic host processes has access to both trusted (local loopback) and
internet zones and server permission in trusted zone).

I think it is a particularly serious matter that I get successful update
messages when in fact the update has failed. Not everybody would double check
in event viewer logs.
