It might be a false positive. I installed from Martin's site and never got a warning nor anything from sweeps since.

Brian,

I also downloaded and installed DXTBmp onto my new PC workstation yesterday from Martin's website with no indications so far of any nuisance spyware present. :?

I also did same this morning and it no creeps in from Martin's site .
There definately was one there on Tuesday .The other 2 spywares were on the Softpedia and 4shared sites .
Thank's for checking .That's 3 of us that have since downloaded the software from Martin's site and all looks good .
