I've been using Malwarebytes Anti-malware on Windows 8 CP and got no detections. I have since installed the new Release Preview and ran Malarebytes and got 2 trojan detections are these false positives? I've also ran Spybot Search & Destroy and Windows Defender and got no detections. Anyone else using Malwarebytes?

Me. I installed and ran it very soon after the installation of Windows 8 Release. It found nothing?

    Use several different computers during a day, so specs are irrelevant.
The same here zero threat detected.

I got a false positive with Malwarebytes on Win 8 about 3 weeks ago. It reported that a registry entry related to auto-starting sidebar.exe (related to Gadgets) was some sort of Trojan. The next day, after a Malwarebytes database update the finding went away. Other than that, no probs with Malwarebytes.

Of course, I suppose it could have been a real Trojan and now my PC is hopelessly compromised :)
