First I apologize if this is posted in the wrong area. I just ran a routine scan (I wasn't having any issues) and came across an entry for Spybot Search & Destroy2 explorer.exe that says it is malware. I uploaded to VirusTotal and it received a clean bill of health.
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/7844e4883f8a83711c1f9122f336f76fbc29b3c239aeb0cf5cbd6178e8721aa7/analysis/1445867988/
I just wanted to double check here before removing to make sure it's not a false positive. Also, not sure what the other PUP's identified are. Is there any way to tell (log & explorer.exe attached).

Hi Kathy,
The file you uploaded is clean.
Its original name is SDScan.exe but I believe it was renamed to explorer.exe by Spybot Search & Destroy.
The others [PUP] detections are adwares. You should remove them.
Regards.
