False positive. Icoo Loader!

We've found that our product named ICOO Loader download
manager listed in your spyware database.
This entry is definitely a mistake.

Our site is http://www.icooloader.com

1. ICOO Loader (tm) program is program intended for fast
downloading of copyrighted content of ICOO Net (tm). ICOO
Loader (tm) - is clearly developed
program which contains no spyware or adware (or
anything with unwanted behaviour). ICOO Loader (tm) - is
client part of ICOO Net (tm) software family,
provided for fast content delivery to our users.

2. We have two DLL's in ICOO Loader (tm) setup: icoou.dll
and icooue.dll, which installs with ICOO Loader (tm).
First DLL, named icoou.dll, used for handling icoo://
protocol and capturing icoo:// links, which are already
located at many pages over the net.
In addition, icoou.dll contains hook, which called
every time when user trying to download some downloadable
content from the net (zip, rar, exe etc.).
In this case DLL asks user for user-defined action:
start downloading of chosen content using ICOO Loader
(tm) program or
perform default action (i.e. download using standard
IE component download). This feature of our program could
be easily turned off by checking
"Don't prompt me again" in appeared dialog. Also user
can customize for which extentions he want to use Icoo
Loader download manager by default.
As you see, icoou.dll contains NO hidden work, NO
unwanted ads and other.

Second DLL, named icooue.dll implements addon to
windows.external IE namespace and containing only one
function named ICOOVersion().
This helper functions used to be able to detect which
version of Icoo Loader user have when he visit our sites.


3. ICOO Soft, LTD. is the European company, located in
Cyprus (member of EU). ICOO Soft, LTD. have many
relations to proprietary services, like
e-banking systems, content providers, ISP's, an other.
ICOO Soft, LTD. have active contract with european bank
for own merchant account that used for selling
our Icoo Loader program. Also ICOO Soft, LTD. have
digital signed certificate which given from european
authority center, that means that we can
guarantee that our software is signed and distributed
only from ICOO Soft, LTD.

4. ICOO Soft, LTD. have distributed affiliate program. In
our affiliate license agreement we follwing only lawful
ways to promote our software products.
Every affiliate accepts affiliate agreement policy and
we investigating affiliate activity at periodical basis.
Every affiliate who violate our rules leaves our
affiliate program immediately.

5. ICOO Soft, LTD. ready to give source codes of
icoou.dll and icooue.dll so you could study them for
possible malicious code.


We contacts you with the request to remove any mention of
ICOO Soft, LTD. software products from your spyware
database.
We always fighting with small anti-spyware companies who
adding our programs without even investigation.
Now seems Microsoft just bought the database from one of
such company.

We hope that you consider a problem fairly and at quickly
and clean basis.

Microsoft AntiSpyware found ICOO Loader on my computer.
That in itself is curious since I didn't install it, nor do I
recall being asked if I wanted it. Programs that install
themselves on the sly are suspicious to say the least!
