Spybot is detecting Malware Defense, but is not getting rid of it. How can I get rid of it? I know what Malware Defense is, it has forced me to reboot this computer before. Malware Defense has not installed itself on my computer, atleast not yet. I have run a Spybot scan and it is detecting the program even though it has not shown up anywhere else. When I tell Spybot to fix the problem, it still comes up when I scan again. How can I get rid of Malware Defense? I have also run a McAfee scan,
What are the temporary files SpyBot is talking about, and is it ok to delete them? I've got SpyBot S and D and it keeps going on about temporary files when I run a Search. Usually I get rid of ost of them EXCEPT it always finds 53 files it can't delete. What are temporary files and why can I not delete some of them? Everywhere I go I keep getting computer speak and I am a bear of very little brain when it comes to that! :( Thank you!
What does the progress bar at the bottom of Spybot Search and Destroy mean? When running Spybot - Search & Destroy on my computer, there is a small bar at the bottom that displays what I assume to be the scan's progress. However, while scanning it displays names like "Perfect.Keylogger" and "Adult_XXX". This computer has never been on a pornographic website or downloaded anything questionable, are these files on my computer or is Spybot checking for common locations that MAY BE on the computer?

Is it worth keeping spybot search and destroy? For security I'm currently using ZoneAlarm Free, Avast Home edition Free, Malwarebytes , and Spybot. However I've heard spybot is pretty useless nowadays so Ive pretty much have just been keeping it around for the live protection thing it offers so my question is since avast has all these active shields would it be fine to just uninstall spybot or am I going to need more programs for protection?
My computer came with 30days of mcAfee so can I still get spybot?

If someone could explain id gladly give you best answer and you'll be helping a guy protect him comp, lol.
