CounterSpy... Detect 2 more spyware than others?!?

CounterSpy... Detect 2 more spyware than others?!?

Hi.
I have downloaded CounterSpy as a trial test since it is said it can detect the newest and dangerous keylogger (Srv.SSA-KeyLogger).

Having a full scan, I didn't find this dangerous keylogger ( :-P ). Instead it managed to find 2 insidious spyware.

1) AB System Spy
File Name & Location:
C:\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSBin\ijl15.dll
C:\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 University\TSBin\ijl15.dll
Size: 344 KB

2) Ace Password Sniffer 1.1
File Name & Location:
C:\Program Files\WinPcap\NetMonInstaller.exe
C:\Program Files\WinPcap\rpcapd.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\npf.sys
Size (in ascending order):
- 06.50 KB
- 84.00 KB
- 32.10 KB

At first sight, CounterSpy looked great. It detected 2 more spyware which others like MS Anti-spyware and ZoneAlarm couldn't.

However think twice, it seemed to be false positives/claims.
I need confirmation.
Can anyone confirm if they are spyware?
Or does anyone know how to confirm

Run Spybot and Adaware instead and see what they come up with.
