It seems that each time I log on to my PC, I get a Spybot message box saying that an important registry entry has been changed. I don't know what this is and the Deny Change button isn't active. The only option I have is to click Allow Change. I can't even close the window. The change is coming from ActiveX Distrubution Unit - is it safe to allow this change. I have no idea what it is. Screen shot attached.
Thanks for the screenshot, that helped. In this scenario, this is something you cannot change. Something (Active X [like a plugin]) has been removed, except it is not your choice whether to allow it or deny it. You cannot bring back the deleted entry. I believe this is from a registry key, considering it is a long string of letters and numbers.
Have you removed anything lately, with an anti-virus or anti-spyware program?
{CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0014-ABCDEFFEDCBA} refers to a DPF (Downloaded Program File) in this instance possibly an update for Sun Java.Quote:

If Sun Java is not installed, then you need to look further into what this is all about.
