SearchSquire was rated "high risk" so I let MAS (Microsoft
AntiSpyware) remove it. Neither Spybot, Spyware-Blaster or
Ad-Aware SE 1.05 had previously found this file.

the AdAware list since 2003.

That could be a false positive. If you're running Spybot & you deleted the
SearchSquire, you may have deleted Spybot's immunization against
SearchSquire. Rerun Spybot's immunization & it will say you're missing
AntiSpyware)
According to some of the folks in the grc newsgroups, this may be a false
positive related to Spybot S&D's immunization feature.

The SearchSquire/Spybot glitch has convinced me to uninstall
Microsoft
AntiSpyware and just stick with the three programs I'm currently
using: Spybot 1.3, Ad-Aware SE 1.05, and SpywareBlaster 3.2. I think
that's enough anti-spyware applications for one computer.
