The Spyware installer detection is the only one that is based only
on filenames, without other criteria. The reason for this are two:
1. files not yet installed don't have any registry references to them, and
2. these detection is intended mainly for dialers - files that often differ
in contents (different text, different images, different toll numbers) while
keeping the same name (within one dialer 'family').
The Download directories setting should be set only to your
download folders, where you can easily identify the files you downloaded.
Files in other places will be searched for automatically, there is no need
to enter them in the setting. In fact, adding your whole harddisk to this
setting will most likely result in false positives.
If files like wbemtest.exe in your Windows/System folder are detected
as a spyware installer, that is such a false positive.
