What is this registry change? I did a scan last night, and nothing came up. The only thing I can remember doing between the last night's scan and today's is uninstalling and installing of Adobe Reader stuff.

[monkeys]

Looked it up, and it looks like Internet Options>Advanced>Scroll down to Security>uncheck Allow active content to run in files on my computer fixes it. My question now is, what could have changed this registry entry between last night and today? I uninstalled older versions of Adobe Reader and installed Adobe Reader 9 which came with Acrobat.com and Adobe AIR, could any of this have done it?

[blues]

i have this detection too sometimes, i suspect it is ccleaner or utorrent, or maybe it is adobe as you say. java, spywareblaster or something else, who knows?

doesnt this setting when checked mean that any website can install anything they want on the computer?

It does partially sound like it. I usually use 'Restore to Advanced Settings' option so everything will be back to default. I wouldn't want any funny or sneaky stuff running on my computer without my knowledge.

[blues]

this is what i have, and some of them is changing the setting

flash, java, hostsman, avast, "revo uninstaller", izarc (it happened before i installed revo and izarc) utorrent, cdburnerxp, "adobe reader" "auslogics disk defrag" "auslogics registry defrag" imgburn, superantispyware, spywareblaster and of course spybot.

what do you have monkeys?

[drragostea]

I have a fraction of the programs that you use, but none of them seem to have affect the configuration of the Advanced Options.

I remember that when you first reformat, the settings in IE are not in default.

Flash player, Java, Adobe Reader 9 (That for some reason forced me to install Adobe AIR and Acrobat.com too, which I uninstalled), Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Spybot. This has never happend to me before, so I'm thinking it had something to do with uninstalling older Adobe Readers or installing Adobe Reader 9/Adobe Air with Acrobat.com.

[blues]

i have installed adobe reader 9 after formatting some days ago, so if it is adobe reader then the old one also does it.

adobe air? i saw that crap too and didnt understand what it was, it wasnt in the old one i had as i remember.

the setting is unchecked right after formatting so something is checking it.

[monkeys]

I'm definitely guessing it for some reason did it when I installed Adobe Reader 9, or the forced on me Adobe AIR/Acrobat.com.

[blues]

i have tried different things now, i opened utorrent, tried to update adobe reader, tried to update java, deleted files with ccleaner. no setting changed at all when i did all this.

the setting is changed from time to time for some reason.

i dont trust ADOBE and SUN at all.
