Please log in for more thread options Spybot reports all attempts to change the registry. It even reports it'self
when it makes changes after a scan. Basically if you have done nothing and
then the message suddenly appears I would not allow it, however if you have
instigated something, e.g. installing a programme and you get the warning
then allow it
