hi, I haven't posted a hijackkthis log or anything because i'm not sure if i actualy have a legitimate problem, or if this is just something to do with a normal windows update.

when i turned on my laptop today i got a message from spybot saying that it had detected "an important registry entry that has been changed"

the information it gave me was:

Category: session manager
Change: value added

Entry: BootExecute

New data: AutoCheck autochk *\lsdelete\


is this anything to worry about?

I denied the changes just incase... i didn't like the look of "*\lsdelete\"...

sorry if this is just a waste of time
