    What color is Spybot showing that line as in your start-up list?
    What Value and Current Filename is listed there?

    That is most likely okay.Please see here:
    http://www.castlecops.com/s2290-msnmsgr.html
    And I checked on another trusted website,and that path should be okay too.

    This looks like the description that Spybot gives when you click the grey button to the right,is that correct?

    "Estado de la base de datos: Innecesario - virus, software espía, maligno u otro tipo de programa consumidor de recursos
    Valor: MsnMsgr
    Nombre del archivo: MsnMsgrs.exe

    Descripción

    If so,that part is just the description from the startup list,telling you what that startup entry could possibly be.
    This part is from your own computer:
    File Name: C:\Archivos de programa\Windows Live\Messenger\MsnMsgr.Exe" /background

    So,you'd compare Current Filename to the Nombre del archivo in the description:
    File Name: C:\Archivos de programa\Windows Live\Messenger\MsnMsgr.Exe" /background----
    ->Nombre del archivo: MsnMsgrs.exe

    So,yours is not MsnMsgrs.exe,so in most cases,that would be okay.
    Also,if your Current Filename was this:
    File Name: C:\Archivos de programa\Windows Live\Messenger\MsnMsgr.Exe" /background
    then Spybot should display that line in the startup section as red,not yellow.

    I think your english is very good,by the way. But,if there is some part of my description you do not understand where it is in English,let me know,and I will try to explain it better.

    Sorry,I meant to say:
