If you are sure that they belong to Spyware nuker, yes you can ask ad-Aware to ignore them. I wouldn't delete them if you are sure that they are vital to the running of Spyware nuker.
I do have to admit that this is a new program to me

i would get rid of spyware nuker if it's filling your computer with spyware, sort of defeats the purpose of it really.if you delete the files it will probably stop spyware nuker. if it's what you want you can set adaware to ignore those spyware, after you run adaware you can set it to ignore them.
if i had known i would live this long, i would have taken better care of myself.

It sounds like Spyware Nuker (not heard of it either) is just doing the same as Adaware. Ever noticed the warning when you first run Spybot? Most spyware removal software creates backups of everything it finds in case you make a mistake deleting something you shouldn't and need to undo the changes. If you then run different spyware removal software it can think these backups are spyware created by the other software. In other words if, say, Adaware finds what it thinks is spyware created by Spybot you know it's just found the backup & you can ignore it.

I haven't heard of Spynuke either, but unless it's a wolf in sheep's clothing (spyware disguised as a spyware remover), I'd say tell Ad Aware to ignore it.
While I'm here, I'd just like to say hello to Sir Homer Simpson. Will that do, Homer? You can send the cheque later.
