Well this is my first time in these forums, I am hoping someone can tell me whats going on... Each time I run spybot, it tells me one of my shorcuts on my desktop is a spyware.. I tried moving all my desktop shortcuts to anotehr folder on my c drive, namely C:/new folder, (go figure), ran it again and got no threats, then moved them back and it named one of my shortcuts a threat again, I even "fixed the problem" 3-4 times, but it just made a different shortcut appear as spyware and thus get deleted when I fixed it. I'm wondering if this is some spybot error or if Its some hidden spyware, iunno, im clueless how to google the issue either.
Thanks ahead of time for the assist.

Hi Shijin0123

If its a shortcut on your desktop that you know is a good program ignore that detection, its a false alarm.
