Hello,

Yesterday I did a Spybot scan and it found two entries entitled "Fraud XPAntivirus". I placed them in Recovery. Can you tell me if it is safe to just delete them?

Thanks!

I'm assuming you removed them when Spybot-SD detected it?

Basically, when entries are placed in Recovery, in a sense it's already been deleted. However, Spybot-SD saves a 'backup' of the deleted file in case something goes wrong after the removal of the entry.

It is up to you whether to keep it or remove it. You can keep in as a backup as it won't do any harm to you.
