I tried to find the answer via search .... i don't have much spare time (i'm a new father now smile.gif
Can anyone tell me why this keeps coming up? *see below please* I'm running AdAware + Norton AntiVirus and just ran the Cleaner and no trojans were found.
THNX!

Hello heretic,

Ad-Aware is simply alerting you to the fact that the default values for these registry keys have been changed. This is potentially, but not always a security risk, as malwares may use these keys for malicious purposes. As it stands now, the modifications I see in your registry are safe, and you may ignore them (add to ignore list)... they have most probably have been changed by another security application on your computer.

Thanks
