It means that the antivirus program was able to detect the malware (virus/spyware) but because of poor design it was unable to disinfect it. Thus, as a stop gap measure, it either quarantines, renames [using either a back-up extension such as rb0, bak, etc], or zips it.
Some antivirus software can heal/disinfect the virus, but for others they rename/quarantine it so that in the next batch or issue of a virus definition file, the user can re-scan what was quarantined and hopefully disinfect those. Spyware found should be definitely removed by antivirus/antispyware suites. Other antivirus software, especially those free ones, needs special fix tools, usually small exe files, to heal/disinfect the affected files.
To fix the problem, get a more reliable antivirus/antispyware software; there are a number of good software out there and some are even free. For comparison try:http://anti-virus-software-review.topten…http://anti-spyware-review.toptenreviews…
I do recommend that you get one anti-virus and one anti-spyware. Getting an antivirus/antispyware suite is advisable only if you have the commercial version that is automatically updated, but for free use version [usually automatic updates are disabled], getting one set each would be more economical in the long run as viruses and spyware sometimes disable the antivirus / antisoftware it could find. Thus, if you have installed an antivirus/antispyware suite and it becomes infected or disabled by either a virus or a spyware, your computer will be open to all other malware attacks.

You would fix that problem by getting a better antivirus program that doesn’t sit around not deleting viruses. I’ve never heard of an anitvirus program renaming a virus, that makes no sense.
I’ve had Avira Antivir for a year, and it’s caught everything. It’s free. My computer runs fast. No viruses. The program auto-updates itself.
Good luck
