PC Tools Spyware Doctor is still saying that the file 'decoder.exe' in my MediaMonkey folder is infected with Backdoor.Graybird.GEN. It's now August and the earliest comments in this thread were from June, which is a little before I started having the problem myself when I installed MediaMonkey on a new computer. So my question is why hasn't Spyware Doctor put the file on a safe list if it's a false positive? Is it possible that MediaMonkey has actually been distributing an infected installer?
My Avira Antivirus doesn't report any problem with the file, but today I decided to submit the file to
ThreatExpert to get another opinion and like Spyware Doctor, it came up
POSITIVE reporting the same infection with Backdoor.Graybird.GEN. ThreatExpert posts their reports online. This one is available here:

ThreatExpert's description of the infection:
"Backdoor.Graybird.GEN has rootkit functionality. It injects itself into various processes causing them to be hidden. It also logs keystrokes and sends this information to remote servers."
Spyware Doctor's description:
"A malicious application that runs in the background and allows remote access to your system, giving the attacker full control."
