    Hello,

    I just moved up to Spybot S&D Resident version 1.5.2. When I switch on the computer now, I get the following message about FlashPlayer and would like to know if it is okay to select "allow change":

    Spybot startup entry database
    Detected registry entry that has been changed
    Category: System startup user identity
    Change: Value detected
    Entry: FlashPlayerUpdate

    Allow Change Deny Change

    When I click "Info" it says "no info found."

    I also wonder how important FlashPlayer is; is it something I'd miss? On the Wiki site, it mentions that FlashPlayer uses PIE and other things to track and collect data.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Laurie

    Thanks!

    I figured it would be okay but get nervous when messages like that pop up ;)
