Greetings all, I have been using Spybot S&D for a few years now but have kept resident protection disabled thinking it was slowing my already painfully slow dial-up net connection (38 to 48k). After a recent re-format I've left resident on and immediately upon internet connection I get these two screens: Category: Session manager Change: Value added Entry: BootExecute New Data: auto check autochk * I select:Deny change Category: Session manager Change: Value added Entry: ExcludeFromKnownDlls I select:Deny change Before I tell it to remember my selection, could you tell me what this is referring to and if It's alright to allow it? Could a virus or other such nasty use this in some way?
