If you care to report those to us when you scan next, I can take a look
and update our definitions if necessary. We can then see which
definition detected the file and update it if necessary.

The best option at all times if you have a file in question, or problem
with one of our products is to contact us, the vendor first - as we
deal with all kinds of situations on a daily basis and are the most
knowledgable in dealing with potential false postives when it comes to
items detected by SUPERAntiSpyware.
