I've only just finished reformatting and reinstalling, then Spybot pops up with a registry chage window and the option to allow or deny. I denied, but I don't really know what I've denied?

I've had a look round the net, dosn't seem to be anything major its been scanned and probed by many and no-one really knows what it is lol

Its thought its a bit of a left over from a nero install of some sort rather than anything malicious you can either edit the registry and remove the enteries or maybe disable it in msconfig.

If you want to run a full virus scan and spyware search you can for peace of mind but it probably wouldn't be found.

Thanks megazoid. I did install Nero 6 after the reformat so your suggestion could well be possible.

I've got Norton Systemworks, Norton Firewall, Spybot, MS AntiSpyware and Spyware Blaster installed and other than the first report by Spybot, none of them have thrown up anything untoward.

I was just a bit concerned about the 'dummy. exe' bit and the 'Paul Collins' bit. I had visions of good old Paul sitting down with a coffee whilst looking at all the files on my computer, lol.

Appreciate reply, thanks.
