I FINALLY found what on earth you are talking about. That is not what I
would call a major problem!!

Right click on the blue button on the left of the Hint and tell it to go
away....can't remember the exact wording. I just tried that, and it
disappeared. As to whether it will come back the next time I open
Spybot, I have no idea. But it is quite easy to get rid of. Or ignore.
