A2 found "traces"



Hi
Sometimes a little knowledge is dangerous!

For years I have used both Ad-Aware and Spybot (in addition to a firewall
and ZA free. Recently I downloaded and installed "A2 Squared Anti-Malware"
and it discovered on my wife's PC the following 2 items. I've checked their
website but have to say I am still not sure whether to delete them or ignore
them.

The 2 items are:
1) Trace.Directory.Spyware.MateWatcher (Trace: C:\Worksetup)

2) Trace.Registry.MyWay
(Trace: Value: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Management\ARP Cache\MyWay Speedbar Uninstall --> Changed)
(Trace: Value: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Management\ARP Cache\MyWay Speedbar Uninstall --> ShowInfoCache)

Can I safely delete these or are they false alarms?

Concerning C:\Worksetup, the PC may have come with MS Works but that was
removed years ago. She now uses MS Office.

Concerning MyWay Speedbar, I have no idea what that is and she certainly
does not have it installed that she knows of.

Appreciate any advice.

Jeff
