I've just downloaded Spybot and have noticed on scan that 4 items were
Microsoft and 1 was Media Player. It says by it Registry Change, worried
about asking it to 'Fix' anyone else had these and 'fixed them with no
problem to computer
 
I use spybot S&D myself. I tell it to remove everything everytime (Including
The microsoft and Media player entries) I run it and have experienced no ill
effects.

I let SpyBot remove everything except Autocomplete since that is where your
passwords are stored. In SpyBot Advanced mode, go to File Sets. Near the
bottom there are three boxes that are unchecked. If put a check mark in
them, even more crap will be found.

I tend to trust Spybot in this type of scenario. It's probably Microsoft
setting automatic updates and insidious things like that which I'd much
rather be in control of. I just let it fix them all.

Hi Lynn,

I also had these items and put them in the exclude section (using
spybot in advanced mode). That means they are left alone and not
included in subsequent scans.

Good luck

Unless SpyBot specifically detects and alerts you of Spyware, all else is at
your option to remove.
