Treesize uninstall program queried by Windows Defender

[Guest]

All of a sudden Windows Defender has decided to question the presence on my
computer of Treesize's Uninstall program.

It calls it WinSoftware.WinAntiSpyware and gives an Alert Level of Medium

Further notes show:
============
Description:
This program has potentially unwanted behavior.

Advice:
Review the alert details to see why the software was detected. If you do not
like how the software operates or if you do not recognize and trust the
publisher, consider blocking or removing the software.

Resources:
regkey:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\UNINSTALL\TreeSize Free_is1

uninstall:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\UNINSTALL\TreeSize Free_is1

file:
C:\Program Files\JAM Software\TreeSize\unins000.exe
============

The "view more information" page says that it was discovered September 29,
2006 (so why do they only tell me now on November 23, 2006?), and that
Severity is Low. It gives no other information at all.

Happy Turnkey! I have a similar situation only iwth a file analyzer utility
from the author of Spybot S & D. I believe what we have is a false positive!
For the time being, I would just Ignore or Always Allow and then re-test
with the next definition update.

er, with.

It must be the keyboard! (Yeah, I'll blame it on the keyboard - it couldn't
be me!).

Hello, Mr Cat:
It's probably not you or your keyboard. I suspect too much catnip.
Enjoy the Turkey Day.

Having found his post via Google I replied
and we were later told that was not the right place.

There is another similar post in the Application Compatibility folder of
this newsgroup.

The problem appears to have been corrected with the latest definition update.
