Questions about my malware settings

Along with Norton Internet Security 2005, I run Ad-Aware, Bazooka,
Spybot-Search and Destroy, SpywareBlaster, and Windows malicious software
removal tool at least every couple of days.

Ad-Aware occasionally finds 1 or 2 data miners in my temporary internet
files, which I remove.

Bazooka always gives a clean report (I'm wondering if it really does
anything).

I keep Spyware Blaster updated and all protection turned on.

Spybot has detected "Windows security center firewall and antivirus disable
notify", which I told it to ignore, plus a couple of others that I removed
when I ran it the first time. I have noticed in the Spybot ignore list that
CDilla, Hitbox, and Sidestep are set to ignore. CDilla worries me, I'm
wondering if it's associated with itunes. Does anyone know about that, and
is there any reason not to uncheck the ignore option on any of these?

Now here's what really got my attention. Yesterday when I ran Ad-Aware it
found the following 4 files, and this is how they were described in the log:
Adware.P2PNetworking object : File : C:\System Volume
Information\_restore{D23EFF2A-BFEF-46A5-8364-D064E372DF2B}\RP126\A0014358.exe

Adware.P2PNetworking object : File : C:\System Volume
Information\_restore{D23EFF2A-BFEF-46A5-8364-D064E372DF2B}\RP126\A0014399.DLL

Adware.P2PNetworking object : File : C:\System Volume
Information\_restore{D23EFF2A-BFEF-46A5-8364-D064E372DF2B}\RP154\A0016637.DLL

Adware.P2PNetworking object : File : C:\System Volume
Information\_restore{D23EFF2A-BFEF-46A5-8364-D064E372DF2B}\RP154\A0016639.exe
I quarantined them. Is this something that would have corrupted a restore
point? What can anyone tell me about these?

I know this is a lot of Q&A, so I appreciate any expertise you knowledgeable
people can give me.

Thanks,
Rusty
