I run Spybot on a regular basis and have been receiving this entry checked off and in red: Microsoft.Windows.Security.Internet Explorer
Upon reading the description on the right hand side, it appears that there has been a registry change to Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl whereby the value is a "0" and, from what I have researched, it should be a "1".
As I have never altered a registry value before, I am hesitant to allow Spybot to go ahead with the change, although my gut feeling is to go ahead and do it.
Any comments or suggestions would be most appreciated. Sorry I cannot provide more information.
Running XP sp2, Firefox 1.8, IE 6 (only when necessary)

P.S. I am assuming that the Spybot entry refers to the following:
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE [or Current User] \Software\Microsoft
\Internet Explorer\Main
\Feature Control \FEATURE_BINARY_
BEHAVIOR_LOCKDOWN
where 0=disabled and 1=enabled.
