Default Trojan in spy sweeper??

I am starting a new thread. I have not found somethig similar to post.

I have tried trojanhunter 4.5 and today it has detected that a language.dll file (in spysweeper folder) has a trojanspy.banker 879 in it!

I have cleaned it and immediately spy sweeper stopped working. I have submitted tha file to Jotti and it has found nothing.

Because I think this is strange and important I am asking for assistance.

I have win xp SP2 (all updates), nod 32 and zone alarm.

This is a false positive (not a trojan). Please run TrojanHunter LiveUpdate to correct the false positive. More information on this is available at http://forum.misec.net/board/TrojanHunter/1143750335

Probably a false positive from Trojanhunter, because you scanned it at Jotti's and
removing the file stopped Spy Sweeper from loading because its language file is missing.
Have you submitted the file to the developer of Trojanhunter for further examination?

Let's hear what the experts have to say about it.

Magnus already responded.

Thanks both of you for the help!

You're welcome spartak.
Glad Magnus showed up in time to let you know that it's indeed
a false positive, but fixed with the LiveUpdate.
