I suggest reporting this as a false positive. The procedure is explained here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921159/en-us

Thanks jimR1

what i have done is downloaded spywareblaster again,as i know that this is not a trojan
onecare warned me again,so this time i asked it to ignore allways and i will send the false positive off

so now i can open spywareblaster without any problems

I have downloaded Spywareblaster v 4.1 and can verify One Care detects a trojan. Thank you for reporting this.

I have added the Spyware Blaster file to WLOC's exclusion list on both my computers. Can I assume that this false positive is going to be fixed by WLOC?

If it is indeed a false positive it will be corrected.
