libexpat.dll is tagged as PeopleOnPage. libexpat.dll is
an open source XML parser from AT&T research (Graphvis)
and my company uses it in one of our applications. We've
had to place a "Does your software contain spyware" FAQ
on our web site to try to curb some of the phone calls by
customers. This false positive has cost our company quite
a bit of time and effort and I hope MicroSoft removes it
from the list of files involved with the PeopleOnPage
spyware and bases the identification of PeopleOnPage on
files unique to PeopleOnPage.

Thanks for the report Glen.

I'm a little concerned--this false positive has been reported for a fairly
long time.

Are you on the current build of Microsoft Antispyware (see help, about, and
look for .509) and definitions? (also see help, about, and look for 5699)

Since it is your app which is being adversely affected, please report this
false positive to the Spynet site at the URL below:
