Generally any problems or 'hiccups' with your computer than don't go away on their own is a sign something's wrong with it.

Freezing, being unusually slow on a good internet connection, crashing, etc.

But to tell exactly what's wrong(virus, worm, Trojan, spyware, adware) and because not all spyware causes such obvious trouble, I'd recommended scanning it with something like Norton every so often for good measure.

Beware some free virus scans offered online as they can they can be scams that give your computer the very problems you want to avoid.

If anti-spyware program detected the Farsighter spyware on your computer could it be a 'false positive' or it conclusive?

A legal anti-spyware doesn't display false positives. The false positive method is used by rouge anti-spyware. There's no possibility to tell if your anti-spyware is legal or not unless you name it. If your' anti-spyware is legal, then you are infected. As your anti-spyware detected this threat, i assume it can delete it. You can enter the name of your antispyware into http://www.yahoo.com or http://www.google.com and read the reviews. If most of reviews are bad, than your anti-spyware can be corrupted and use false positives to gain a purchase.

I would go with SuperAntiSpyware or MalwareBytes. You can get SuperAntiSpyware by going to atotalnetworksolution.com, then go to the Anti-Spyware page.
