Spybot has detected an important registry that has been Changed. BROWSER HELPER OBJECT: KEY DELETED I try to deny change but it's not high lighted Entry Help
this means a browser object is being deleted, not being installed. nothing is wrong. if you uninstalled a toolbar of the like or anything, this will happen. Go ahead and allow it.

During some registry changes the "Deny change" option is grayed out (is not an option). This appears to be on changes such as the removal of a Browser Helper Object (Value deleted). This is speculation but I assume that the "Deny change" is grayed out because by the time TeaTimer recognizes the Registry change the underlying code for the BHO has been deleted and therefore denying the change would do no good to save the BHO from being deleted. I assume that the same would hold true for a "Value deleted" for an ActiveX process and possibly other changes. In this case the registry change dialog serves as a warning that something has changed.
