    I know what the recovery feature is with spybot. It's there if I need it.

    Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.AntivirusDi...
    Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.FirewallDis..

    Nothing to worry about, these two see this thread:
    thread 1

    WildTangent see these links:
    link 1
    Link 2

    I would remove Wild Tangent with Add/Remove first, before cleaning with spybot - but you may loose functionality with WildTangent games (if you use their service)

    You can use the Recovery feature. To access this feature you click on the Recovery button on the left hand vertical toolbar.To recover a previously fixed item, place a checkmark next to the item you would like to fix and press the Recover selected items button. This will place back the previously fixed item onto your computer. Please use this feature with care as you do not want to reinstall a piece of malware onto your computer.

    As I have never been 'infected' I cannot say if this method works, but its in the manual - so it should
