Summary: Spyware detected in spambayes directory

Initial Comment:
Hello,

I just ran MS AntiSpyware Beta1 with the newest
definitions and it detected a "NS Keylogger Personal
Monitor (Key Logger)" in c:\program
files\spambayes\unins000.exe directory.

Is this a real spambayes file, or did I pick this up on
my journey through the Internet?

FWIW, I use MS AntiSpyware, and it's never considered any
Inno uninstaller (including spambayes') as spyware.  They
might differ per machine, I suppose.

The file "unins000.exe" is the uninstall program created by
the InnoSetup installer for SpamBayes. Unless some virus or
spyware has somehow found and modified this particular file,
it is perfectly legitimate. Since Microsoft AntiSpyware is
still in beta test, it is not unlikely that it could
generate some false positives. If you have any questions
about this file, I would get a "second opinion" from your
anti-virus software or one of the other free spyware
detection utilities.
