• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Hi!
I've received Spybot notification:
Important regisry key change-Allow or deny?

Key was:{EFA24E64-B078-11D0-89E4-00C04FC9E26E}

I've searched the net, ZDNET, Microsoft etc. - but got no result!

Consequently to be safe rather than sorry- I denied change

Can anyone tell me what it means please
Thanks
 
botnik:

CLSID = {EFA24E64-B078-11D0-89E4-00C04FC9E26E} is associated with the Folders in Explorer.

Since you only provided the CLSID and did not indicate the Category (type registry) being changed it is difficult to determine what was occurring at the time of the change.

I believe that if you search again, you will find many reference to CLSID = {EFA24E64-B078-11D0-89E4-00C04FC9E26E}.

If you post the portion of the Resident.log that shows the change that you denied, it may help (see Note #1).

Also what were you doing that the time the registry change notification occurred?
