spyware found in Registry

[dedudette]

I just ran Spybot for the first time. In addition to tracking cookies, it found spyware in my Registry. I have always been cautioned not to mess with the Registry. Is it safe for me to allow Spybot to get rid of these entries? Are there any risks to the continued good functioning of my system? Thanks for your help, everyone!

It's fine. Just make sure it's not false positive.

False positive?

Thanks! How can I tell if it's a false positive?

Hello,

You can delete them.
The first is adware and the second is a fake security software.

So you're saying the first seven couponbar things are adware and the last is spyware and my computer won't die if I delete them?

Thanks again, Les
