SpywareBot vs Spybot

[cwtlr]

I have many files labled as "SpywareBot", that have within them files labled as SpyBot. Example:
C:\Documents and Settings\All users\Application Data\SpyBot - Search & Destroy\Recovery\SpywareBOT10.zip

Are these files from an old program I had called SpywareBot, or they good files that I need for SpyBot? Or, are the two programs one in the same?
thanks,

No,the two programs aren't one and the same.
The example you posted is showing that SpywareBot10.zip is in Spybot-Search and Destroy's recovery folder.The Recovery folder is where Spybot keeps backups of things it's removed,in case you ever have to recover anything.(If you open Spybot->Recovery,you'll see the things it's backed-up.)So,if the files you're seeing are all in the Recovery folder,it looks like Spybot-S&D removed Spywarebot,and those are the backups.

C:\Documents and Settings\All users\Application Data\SpyBot - Search & Destroy\Recovery\SpywareBOT10.zip

Spywarebot is on the rogue anti-spyware page:

I recommend that you delete the SpywareBOT10.zip file and remove ALL traces of the Spywarebot tool.

Thank you for your reply. I got rid of the stuff in Recovery. Now I know what to do next time.
