be listed in the scanner window on the left (3). You can get more information

If the publisher is well known or you want to install the object for any other
reason, click “Allow and ignore” button (4). Object will be moved to Ignored
Object list and the program will not alert you about it again. If you are not
expecting any programs to be installed on your computer, click “Delete” button
and Spy Guardian will remove this object, move it to Blocked Objects list and
will automatically delete it if this object will try to install itself again.
Finally, you can press “Stop Guardian” button (6) and Spy Guardian will be
