Default Spybot and Spy Hunter conflict


I just ran Spybot after running Spy Hunter and it identified a problem
named eAcceleration. That problem was apparently created by having run
Spy Hunter, at least according to the info Spybot produced. What
exactly is eAcceleration and should I be concerned?

Thank you.

Grettings:

Look in Spybot Advanced Mode\Configuration\Products.
eAccelerator is included in the malware list.
Spy Hunter is known as a spy-installer. As to what eAcceleration
does, take a look in the safer-networking definitions in the malware
category.

SpyHunter is not on the list of respected antispyware apps. AdAware, Spybot,
Hijack This, CWShredder are the only ones I trust. Uninstall it and run
another full scan with Spybot, and also AdAware - latest versions, updated.

Thank you very much.

Is AdAware, then, not the same thing as Adware from LavaSoft?

Thanks again.
