Hi,
When i run Spybot on my computer at work, Spybot detects the following entry (Please refer JPEG attachment). Spybot detects a registry entry under Microsoft.Windows.System. Should i fix the problem or leave it? This keeps coming back every time i run Spybot. Is it a threat?
I installed Spybot because when i tried to open a site through Google, i used to get an error message that Google has blocked by computer because it has detected that my computer is sending bulk email. After running Spybot, the Google problem is gone.
Thanks!!!

As for the registry entry that Spybot is detecting, that is very likely a restriction placed by the IT department.
It is nothing to worry about, and you should not alter it.
There are several older versions of Java on your machine.
These are vulnerable to exploits, and I recommend that you remove them.
Java(TM) 6 Update 2
Java(TM) 6 Update 3
Java(TM) 6 Update 5
Java(TM) 6 Update 7
