243 threats were found with my spybot search and destroy. they were all red, meaning it was all spyware. I do not fully understand how to use spybot search and destroy yet. Do i remove all of the spyware or what? Also…i immunized my computer….is that good?

Yes delete all that is found, to delete the threats there should be a box, before the name of the threat that has to checked. After that, click the icon in the toolbar beside the one that says "check for problems"(the one with the magnifying glass), that has a hammer and other tools on it that says "fix selected problems". That should do it.
I would like to recommend a few other Anti-virus programs that I use and they are free.
They are very effective.
1 Ad-Aware 2008, Much more effective than previous versions and faster, does not suck up system resources like the previous versions, also there various skins to suit your preferences.

2 SpywareBlaster, blocks potentially damaging applications and programs from running.

3 Simple File Shredder, it isn't an anti spy, but it shreds unnecessary files including cookies and it speeds up system performance.

4 MRU-Blaster, detects and cleans MRU (most recently used) lists on your computer. By looking at these MRU lists, someone could determine what files you opened/saved/looked at, what their file names were, and much more! (And, in many cases, the lists are displayed in drop-down menus automatically.) (From website.)

Check the boxes next to them all (they should already be checked, but check them if they're not) and then click "fix" up at the top.
