One of Stardock's .dll files might produce a false positive on antivirus scans

Before I went to work this morning I set up a virus scan using Symantec's online scanner. I'm a very security-conscious Windows user, so imagine my surprise when I came home to find that the scanner returned an infection.
The "virus" (ABC Keylogger) is a piece of commercially-available spyware which (duh) logs all keystrokes, including encrypted passwords. However, I reviewed the description in Symantec's virus database and found that I didn't have any of the additional files or registry entries described therein, nor did I have a keylogger.exe process running at startup.
Some judicious googling revealed this forum thread. Since my girlfriend's computer (which also uses Logon Studio) returned the same "virus" when I ran the online scanner, I'm pretty confident that this is a false positive. I wanted to make the community aware of this so other users don't freak out (like I did), and so Stardock can investigate the issue and put Symantec on notice.
