Immediately during/after it's installation it appeared to be deleting what it determined to be "Malicious Software" from the registry which the Spybot SD thus asked to allow, which I said yes to all. Upon reboot, I was surprised that Spybot SD asked again, since I thought they were all permanently deleted from the system now. I allowed all of them again, but noticed that my McAfee Personal Firewall and McAfee Privacy Center were also shut off in the process (indicating what appeared to be a misidentification of those two start up files as "Malicious"). I was able to re-enable both McAfee settings from the McAfee Security Center.
I then rebooted again, hoping that this time the change would be permanent, but it wasn't. Once again, Spybot SD asked to approve every single deletion. So this time I checked the "Remember this decision" box for each.
Of course, now, I get a flood of little yellow boxes reminding me of these allowed deletions every time I reboot.
Isn't there a way to remove these files permanently? Are they all really bad? How do I identify which are good McAfee files and keep those settings?
Here is my recent Spybot SD Log (followed by my HijackThis Log):

Thank you for your help.
Mkay... so you appear to be saying that I do NOT need to worry about any of those files, and it is OK to have them all permanently deleted? So apparently now it is just a matter of resetting SpyBotS&D to remove the annoying repeated alerts?
Sorry if I seem skeptical, but I am surprised that it took so long to get an answer to my concern if it was as simple as that.
But, as suggested, I went ahead and removed and reinstalled SpyBotS&D (it was already updated, but did so again from scratch anyway to reset everything), and as expected the alerts have discontinued.
Here's hoping nothing important got lost in the shuffle.
Thank you for your help.
