Another false positive?

The latest SB S&D seems to have fixed the StartPage-EH false positive, but SearchForIt has now appeared. This was not found by Ad-aware, which doesn't necessarily mean a lot, but is it another false poasitive? Has anyone else had this picked up after the last update. I used to trust Ad-aware and Spy Bot, but now I question everything.

Yep, I just downloaded and ran the update. Just as you it found SearchForIt. What do I do now... and what is it? Sad
