Registry Change Detected? Bob?

Posted by tofuemmy on December 22, 2006, at 18:22:34

Why does McAfee say this, "McAfee has detected a potentitally unauthorized change to your computer"?

"Details
SystemGuard Name: Internet Explorer URLs
Change: Registry Modified

More Info
SystemGuard Description: Monitors changes to your Internet Explorer preset URLs to prevent spyware or other potentially unwanted programs from changing your browser settings without your permission.

Process: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
Process Name: Internet Explorer
Process Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
Affected Items: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-31306-2445-2721324-1006\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Window_Placement

If you did not expect this change, McAfee recommends that you block it. If you expected this change, allow it."

Mostly I block it...but why does this happen? It's annoying. It happens when I view some posts (not all) which will open a new window.

Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to redirect this thread to Psycho-Babble Administration. Here's a link:
