But,since I don't see sdcleaner listed in salenai's logfile or anything I know to be the equivalent,I'd assume that doesn't apply to you or him,since you both have Spybot 1.6.2.
(unless there was something like sdcleaner.exe in Spybot 1.6.2 and it was called something else that I cannot remember.I'm not sure,so I'll just squint suspiciously at sdmain.exe since I can't quite remember what it was,and move on.No need to concern yourself with this,btw,I'm just rambling out loud a little.)

Anchor.hss is in the pups category,so I'll show you this page explaining those:

If you've decided after reading the above that you would like to no longer have hotspot shield,then you might like to consider removing it from add/remove programs.
If the two entries are still found after that when you scan with Spybot,then you could ask for help in malware removal:
This is the before you post sticky topic:

Today I went to Control Panel to uninstall Hotspot Shield. I had noticed that the icon for it on my desktop looked different for some reason. I clicked uninstall in CP and a window popped up saying that I had already uninstalled HSS, even though I had not done so previously. I deleted the icon in CP and ran another Spybot scan. This time the hss pup did not show up in the scan. Kind of strange considering that I did not knowingly uninstall Hotspot Shield. I guess I am cured or am I ?
