I just ran a scan and two entries have me concerned but I do not want to delete them until I know for sure what they are. The ones in question are the registry keys

It'll explain what it means and how you can deal with it.

Thanks for the link it explained everything I needed to know. One other thing I would like to know is, when I open SpyBot it gives me 15 seconds to chose if I want my temp files deleted, is there a setting that will not run that when I open SpyBot???

There is a registry tweak to disable the temporary folder cleaning (DisableTempFolderCleaning). The original documentation for this and other registry tweaks is in wiki.spybot.info at this URL:
http://wiki.spybot.info/index.php/Registry_Tweaks
Also see post #7 (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=210587#post210587) in this thread:

Also note: Besides disabling the function you can set the threshold of the number of temporary files that are needed to be present on your system before the message is triggered as well as the time before the messages automatically defaults to cleaning those temporary files. See the original documentation for this and other registry tweaks is in wiki.spybot.info at this URL:
http://wiki.spybot.info/index.php/Registry_Tweaks
The items are:
2.4 DisableTempFolderCleaning
http://wiki.spybot.info/index.php/Registry_Tweaks#DisableTempFolderCleaning
2.10 TempFolderCleanDelay
http://wiki.spybot.info/index.php/Registry_Tweaks#TempFolderCleanDelay
2.11 TempFolderCleanMinimum
http://wiki.spybot.info/index.php/Registry_Tweaks#TempFolderCleanMinimum
Additionally, because of concerns with this feature, future releases of Spybot appear that they may contain enhanced options concerning the clearing of temporary files.
