Buddy Spy - Key Logger Alert Question ?

Hello All -

I've been a user of Buddy Spy and Unsakred fan for quite some time. Not to cast him in a malicious light but I did come up with an "anamoly" that I wanted to put to the group. I searched on this forum and on google and have not come up with any similar warnings. I apologize in advance if this question has already been addressed.

I recently upgraded to Webroot's Spy Sweeper 4.5.5 with definitions v564. Webroot touts this feature as being able to detect key logging software. It came up with a warning of a keylogger file known as Golden Eye associated with buddy spy 2.2.09. The files in question are unins000.exe and "unistall buddy spy.lnk" Both files were located in the buddyspy directory.

It's possible this alert is a false hit. There have been numerous prior complaints/reports that software security vendors have mislabeled cookies/programs as malicious. I'm sure Unsakred will address this issue directly and that will be the end of it. Perhaps some people that are more technically savvy than me would also like to comment.
