There's just covering their butts. They're basically telling you that if you're
using a program that has spyware, removing the spyware could render the program
unusable. Example... Kazaa has spyware in it. Should you remove the spyware in
Kazaa, Kazaa will no longer function. The program will give you a chance to
sift through what it finds in order to determine whether or not to remove it.
