Bought a usb bluetooth adaptor on ebay.

So , I bought this from ebay
Put the mini cd in the drive , clicked setup.exe , and a spybot window popped up , informing me that a known piece of malicious software ( a keylogger )
was present in the setup exe file , with options for continuing , or deleting it.
I chose to delete it , thinking it would install as normal , minus the keylogger , but installation stopped.
I reported the seller , who , I must add , was a top seller with a 99.4% approval from 1000s of other sales.
A friend told me it was most likely a false positive , although im not entirely sure what that is.
Did I do the right thing in deleting what I thought was malicious , or is it a harmless thing , misidentified by spybot ?
