One of Spybot's most recent spyware definitions mistakes PowerDesk5 for a piece of malware named PartySluts.

I found out after I removed PS and needed to use PowerDesk a while later. It was gone! 8-)

Spybot blows out the entire PowerDesk
folder, the uninstaller, and a couple of registry keys (PD uses over 30).

Nothing in the OS is harmed. Just the annoyance of having to reinstall PowerDesk.
