1. Is that a legitimate and licenced version of Spy Sweeper?

2. How do you know that your filesharing software is "clean" and is not in fact a version that also installs spyware?
Yes, of course, it is a legitimate version of Spy Sweeper, I wouldn't dare use cracked security softwares, I'm quite paranoid. The latest version were received by email from Webroot on July 25th, it was the ss_505_1286_Full_FR.exe file.

My only filesharing soft, eMule (the installation file is eMule0.47a-Installer.exe) comes from http://www.emule-project.net/. Moreover, it has been running properly for monthes without any problem. That's y the question is : does the problem come from an anti-p2p patch sent by Webroot or from a virused file I would have downloaded? Neither NAV 2006 nor any anti-spyware nor any on-line scan detected anything. Then I thought NAV 2006 coud have been neutralized by some virused file. The on-line scans tested are the following :
Panda AV
Panda Spy Xposer
BitDefender Scan OnLine
X-Cleaner Micro Edition

+ the antispyware scan available on http://www.spywareguide.com/onlinescan.php.

No one found anything.
