ALERT!
Protexis.MOD is a False Positive detection, which will be corrected next Wednesday, when the new definitions are released. The program is a key-logger - for a typing tutor application! ;-)
If Spybot deleted this program, you can restore it now, if you actually use the typing tutor. Click on the Recovery button (First Aid box w/green cross) and find Protexis.MOD and follow the instructions to recover the file(s).

Thanks
