Skybot search & Destroy message - registry entry?

Hi, I hope someone can help as I'm not too sure what to do with a Skybot Search & Destroy window which has appeared after my computer had a serious system error. I was away from the PC at the time, when I returned the screen was black with the error message, and I had to manually do a restart.
I signed back onto AOL, and the message was there, it says

'SS&D has detected an important registry entry that has been changed.
Category: System Startup global entry.
Change: Value deleted.
Entry: KernelFaultCheck.
Old data: %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -k'

It is asking me to allow change or deny change, I don't know what to click!

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks guys.

    From the look of the info in the link below from the Spybot S&D forums, it doesn't really matter whether you allow or deny that.

    Hi Fermi, many thanks for that link, I wasn't aware of the forum!
    After reading the post, I don't think I'll allow it, as it may have caused the posters PC to crash. I don't want that, I've had enough problems with AOL crashing, then me having to phone the CS 0844 number, which we know is extremely expensive! The last contact with them cost me over £9.00 for 3 seperate calls:eek:
