I have used Spybot S&D for a few years on my old computer and now on my new one.
I did have to redownload the program a few months ago after a problem with a system restore.

I have never come across this screen before.

On the scan page.
The bar that says Search & Destroy scan for problems and remove them.

I accidently clicked on the pair of binoculars.

A game board appears (like a grid or chessboard)
Then you hear a sound of a whinnying horse.
It says to the side of the board
Reset game Undo
a couple of the squares are white and one in the left
corner has a picture and a T on it .

Thinking it could be a Trogen or something
I ran my Avast Antivirus scan
Also Online Trend Micro Housecalls
Spysweeper
Ewido
Ad Aware SE
& Spybot S&D

Nothing shows up....

What is this screen ?
Is it a part of the program?
Or do I have some form of spyware on my computer
that likes to play games, that all these Spyware programs my antivirus is missing.
Here is a screenshot.

It is a game included in Spybot called KnightHop. It is activated by an "Easter Egg" on each screen in Spybot. The KnightHop game can be initiated from any screen in Spybot by clicking on the small symbol just to the left of the title in the right pane of any screen (binoculars on the scan screen, first aid kit on the recovery screen, etc.).

KnightHop can also be downloaded as a seperate program:
