    ActiveX problem
    « on: February 15, 2009, 05:50:42 PM »
    Dear Forum -

    I keep getting the following message from Spybot Search and Destroy:

    ActiveX Distribution Unit
    Value Deleted

    Then I only get the options "allow change", "?" and "Info". I CANNOT click on "deny change", which I would like to do because I have no idea what's going on here. When I restart the computer the same window keeps popping up. Why can't I deny the change? Is there something fishy going on here? What should I do?

    Your help is greatly appreciated!!

    You should allow those changes.

    malware would be adding values, not deleting them, I would imagine.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

      Thanks, Forum!

      I will allow the change, though I don't know why. If only to get rid of that obnoxious pop-up window, I guess.
