First of all, Tomvee has given you a good explanation of false positives, namely that some programs will wrongly identify certain parts of your P2P program as spyware.

Now I believe Anti-Virus and Anti-spyware apps give false positives because back in the dim and distant past P2P apps did contain spyware and adware as a means of generating funds (or advertising revenue) for their companies. Also there are some spyware out there that use some P2P coding as part of their make up.

The way to make sure that your Bullguard AV does not disable your LW is to read your AV log, as you have done, and identify the application (or parts of the application) that is being identified as spyware and get Bullguard to disregard those items in future scans.

I had a similar problem with Spybot identifying parts of my Windows XP SP2 update as spyware, until I got Spybot to exclude those SP2 bits from its scan.
