    Hello,

    That is a false positive of your anti virus solution.

    The zip files are needed for Spybot-S&D's recovery. They can be restores in case something does not work after fixing a problem with Spybot-S&D.
    You'll find the recovery, if you start Spybot - Search & Destroy and select 'Search and Destroy' --> 'Recovery' in the left bar. If, after a scan, the system works without problems you can delete these files by clicking on 'Purge selected recovery' in the same section after ticking all the checkboxes. You can also change the settings. In the left bar, select 'Settings' --> 'Settings', and in the right window search for 'Age of recovery'. By clicking on that entry you can type in the number of days after which Spybot - Search & Destroy should remove the recovery zip-files automatically.

    The zip files in the recovery folder are password protected.
    The password is: recovery

    Best regards
    Sandra
