They are virii and parasites. Remove them as soon as possible (follow the links provided).

It's Skanky's fault, too!

It's basically a virus checker.

ACK!

i would suggest that you follow the instructions to remove the reported "bugs"

And don't forget to blame Skanky. It's all his fault.

Torakami_Bltzen : Download a program called SpyBot (search Google for it an dyou'll find the download page), when you install and run this it will search your system for all known parasites and spying programs and give you the chance to clean them from your system.

Even if you don't mind about people spying on your 'net access you should do this, because these things often slow your PC down because they run in the background using up your system resources and bandwidth.

Not to mention aren't the best quality-wise, so often cause your system to crash too.
