Apparently, your computer is harboring a virus!

Note: Be sure to click on the "Check for updates now" link before scanning.

The virus may have infected your System Restore folder (system volume information).
You'll need to turn-off System Restore, reboot, then turn it back on.

Why not contact Spybuddy support? They boast of having 24/7 support.
