When I run Spybot - Search and Destroy, I get the following message:
Category: System Startup global entry
Change: Value deleted
________________________________
Entry: NvCpl Daemon
________________________________
Old Data: RUNDLL.32.EXE C:\\WINDOWS\system32\Nv...the remainder goes off the side of the page and is unreadable.
I have no idea what this message is or whether I should allow the change. I would appreciate any comments.
Thanks

Hello,
This is a notification from the resident TeaTimer.
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.
Perhaps you have clicked the notification from the Resident TeaTimer away instead of allowing it, because you can't read the buttons clearfully.
This is a little bug in version 1.4:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/news/2005-06-22.html
We have already been able to locate and fix it. The fix will be downloadable with our next program upgrade. We hope that it will be available soon. As a current solution you can work with your keyboard. Use the cursor keys to switch between the buttons ("Allow" is on the left, "Deny" on the right) and the space key to enter your selection. You can also press "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". The Checkbox for "Remember this decision" will work correctly in spite of the graphical issue.
If you don't like to use the above workarounds you can disable TeaTimer as follows: - Go into Spybot - Mode - Advanced Mode - Tools - Resident.
- Uncheck the following: Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
