Winsock Layered Service Provider - How do I tell if I have a problem?

Microsoft Anti Spyware had a new pop up window that appeared today warning me about a new Winsock Layered Service Provider. I really don't know what to do or even what to look. Heck, I don;t even know if I really have a problem. In my HijackThis scan nothing a Winsock Layered Service Provider section did not appear even though I have seen it in other logs. Here is my log

Should I be worried? Is there anything suspicious on my computer?

Thanks,

    Your log is clean so nothing to be worried about. :)

    Can I mark this thread resolved?

    Thanks for taking a look at my log. So if HijackThis is not reporting any WLSP problems, what is the Microsoft Anti Spyware detecting?

    Oh...and just for you Trogan....

    UP THE IRONS! :D

    I'm not sure what Microsoft Anti-Spyware is detecting but if it hasn't affected your computer than ignore of the time being :)

    Nope...Up The Irons is the West Ham United team slogan.

    Once again...thanks for looking at the log file.
