Exclamation antivirus worries

Hey all. New day, new problem!
I recently posted on here saying I was worried my bullguard antivirus was picking up suspected spyware/malware whenever I run LW and I was told it may be a "false positive" (not sure what exactly this means). I get it everytime I do a scan and it seems to be coming from LW. Anyways I will show you a log of what bullguard is saying:

Does this mean anything to anyone? Bullguard support told me this was being generated by limewire itself and I can adjust settings so it isn't no longer detected. Can anyone help. Thanks
