I am new user to Spybot. My bank told me to use it after there was a problem with internet account. I ran a scan last night and it came up with 70 malware issues which I deleted and then immunised against. But during the scan (took ages) there were lots of "Problem" errors that I had to click ok in order to continue scan. I was worried that something was up with my comp again tonight and my mouse got moved taken over for a short time. I have run the scan again and these problems have come up:

C:\Program Files\Spybot-Search_Destroy\Includes\Adware.sbi
C:\......\HijackersC.sbi
C:\......\Malware.sbi
C:\......\MalwareC.sbi
C:\.....\PUPS.sbi
C:\....\PUPSC.sbi

What do these mean?

Also during the scan (still going now) in the bottom left hand corner where you see the numbers - progress of the scan it shows names. I presume these are what it is looking at on my comp. Well it has shown loads of gambling casino and other stuff I never use or do on the internet so I am really worried this kind of stuff is on my machine.

Can you explain? Thanks - I really appreciate any advice and help
