    It is not necessary to do this because you can configure Spybot to Ignore single entries like this.

    HTH

    I think it was set because windows asked and she hadnt had the the laptop long and didnt know what to put. She has zone alarm and avg but is it good that its set the way it is that windows overides it? I think it said something about it couldnt have 2 programs looking after it. Its my daughters at uni. Just wondering if she should change the settings
    Thanx
