    Question "Running bot check" bar? whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

    Well. This is probably a silly question, but here it goes.


    Yesterday, I mis-clicked on something, and immediately knew i downloaded adware. So I run Spybot, and i notice in the bottom "running bot check" bar (check photo if you don't know what i'm talkin about) and its scanning all these files with terrible names, (adult chat, porn popups, different keyloggers, stuff about fraud) but not recognizing them as problems?

    It caught a few things, which I got rid of. Curious about those files, i ran malware bytes and avira full scans. Avira found some more adware, but not anything else?


    Does anyone know whats up with this bar? Is it lying to me, or do i have problems that no program seems to pick up?

    My computer is acting fine, the main thing im worried about is these random keylogger things popping up in that bottom bar. I do a lot of online business and banking, so this could be really bad! :P

    It just scans from actual detection rules, and shows on a bar which kind of malware is looking for now. There were similar questions about it (some people thought that they really had that much of malware).
