False positives on restricted zone sites

SpywareBlaster puts a large number of sites in the
restricted zone.

AntiSpyware complained about one of these. AntiSpyware
complained about the following reg key as an elevated
risk.

SearchSquire
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSet
tings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchsquire.com * 4

Frank,
This is a minor issue, but I had tried addressing it with Giant previously
as well. What the OP is reporting is that the software is identifying it as
spyware and wanting to remove it, but what it is actually detecting is a
registry entry which puts SearchSquire in the restricted sites zone. This
is a proper registry entry to make sure that if you inadvertently hit a site
that tries to load something from SearchSquire it will use the restricted
sites security thus protecting you. No one is saying that Search Squire is
not spyware, what we are saying is we want to keep this website in our
restricted sites zone. Giant's software would frequently report these types
of entries as spyware. Any chance of getting someone to take a look at
this? It really does need to get corrected. I'm capable of spotting them
and setting the software to ignore, but others will remove it and in effect
lessen their security instead of enhancing it.

FWIW, this is one of the most-posted false positives in this beta--so I
think it is very likely that it is being looked at.
