False Positives??

[Kielty]

I have obtained a free copy of Acronis PE 8 in conjunction with a offer Acronis were doing with Scansoft for their PDF Professional package but I am alarmed at the number of apparant spyware detections. I use NOD32 v2.5, counterspy, adaware and spysweeper v4 and none of these programs detect any spyware on my pc.

Acronis PE however seems to treat Gamespy Arcade, Morrowind by Bethseda Softworks and other seemingly benign entries as spyware!

I don't doubt the quality of the product (as i use True Image and it is a fantastic piece of software) but...... are these legitimate spyware??
