If you use the Immunize function in Spybot Search & Destroy or Spywareblaster then these are false positives. You can verify this by checking the registry entries. If they show the value data as 4 then they are FPs as zone 4 is the restricted zone.
You can learn more by reviewing the information on this page.
If these entries were set to 2, meaning the trusted zone, then they would not be false positives, however there has been a longstanding known issue with ADWCleaner detecting these types of entries. Most were corrected in the last 2 releases however it appears that some of them still linger (assuming they are configured to 4 on your system).
The following is a quote from the Microsoft page linked above:
