Virus/spyware 'Shh/Updater-B' has been detected in "C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\Web Intelligence\swi_update.exe". Cleanup unavailable. This is trickling in as alerts but at an alarming rate.

    Believe it or not, every last AV provider has had this screw up and some of them have been considerably worse than this.  If a false positive has you in such a twist maybe you should stay clear of antivirus as a whole.  Not to say this isn't a pain and it is certainly inconveniant but it certainly didn't remove my user32.dll, svchost.exe, Pegasus Mail, or Google Chrome to name a few screw ups from some of the other major vendors that come to mind.
