    Default Spybot keep prompting Winslogon change even after denying

    Below was the error message from Spybot.

    Spybot - Search and Destroy has detected an important registry entry that has been changed.

    Category : Winslogon
    Change : Value Changed
    Entry : UserInit
    Old Data : C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe
    New Data : C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe\WIN


    I have deny the change but it keeps popping up again and again. When I select remember this decision, I get many pop-ups saying I have blacklisted it in the system tray then slowly it will close by itself.

    I have perform a scan and use Spybot to fix 4 entries. After that I did another scan and no spywares were found but this pop-up thingy is annoying. Will it crash the system too? I am using WinXP SP2.

    No software were installed before or when the error msg first came up. Is it safe to allow the changes? I usually justs deny everything.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    So did you log in with another user account?

    Please read this information about TeaTimer:
    http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/33.html
    and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/34.html
    If you surf the web and without any user interaction the teatimer pops up and warns about a registry change it is better to "deny", but if you install something by yourself it is OK to "allow" the change.
    The tutorial (point 8) on our homepage should also help explaining:

    Best regards
