Hello from a newbie;

I have installed Spybot to try to get rid of some nasty malware and I have a
question. From time-to-time a window opens (it states its from Spybot)
stating:
"Spybot S&D has detected an important registry entry that has been changed"
I goes on to describe the "category, value and entry"., and then offers the
option to let the change go through or to block it.
Here's the dilemma;
I haven't a clue whether it is actually Spybot asking the question or some
other devious ******* pretending to be Spybot.
If the change has been made, are they suggesting that be denying the change
I can reverse it?
Since I don't know what to do I could make the situation worse so I block
each change. even though the thought has crossed my mind that I may be
stopping Spybot from doing its job. There is no mention of this window in
the Spybot tutorial, nor is it mentioned at all on the Spybot website and
forums haven't been helpful at all.

I'm also using Ad-aware and a full Norton complement, completely updated but
my efforts are just not paying off!

I'm losing whatever confidence I had, folks, and really would rather not
pack up the unit and go, tail between my legs, to an "expert" who will fix
it, I am sure, but I will have learned nothing and will just have to repeat
the exercise at some time in the future.

Thanks to you all for your patience, and I look forward to any constructive
suggestions.
