Hello,

I do not understand why SpyBot show an alert with the following entry in the registry :

Microsoft.Windows.Security.InternetExplorer
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-xxxxxx\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN\iexplore.exe!=W=1

I have always thoug that it was good to have the iexplorer.exe value set to 1 in the following hive.

What's wrong with it ?

Thanks for any help to understand the alert.

Guillaume.

Hello

Microsoft.Windows.Security.InternetExplorer

I know this is an old discussion, but I came across this problem? recently & thought I'd share my experiences.
I had recently downloaded AOL Active Security Monitor to try it out. I then started getting this alert when scanning with S&D along with numerous port scan reports from my firewall (Sygate Personal Firewall).
Like other users, I removed it each time it was found only to have it reappear after rebooting. Rescanning immediately after removal showed no alert.
I've just removed AOL ASM & no longer get any alerts from S&D, or port scan reports.
Coincedence?
