    You have AdAware installed.
    If you have the AdAware option to scan inside archives enabled, AdAware may find files in the Spybot-S&D folder. Spybot-S&D does not contain any spyware, but it creates backups of everything you fix (until you remove those backups from the Recovery list), and AdAware complains about these backups. You can safely ignore these backups found by AdAware.

    This is the warning that popped up when I clicked on SpyBot S&D. Is there reason to be concerned, worried etc.??? :confused: Is some action required???
