FWIW, I found the same unchecked item yesterday.....found a different
one a week or so ago. Have no clue how they got unchecked.

I run SuperAntiSpyware and Spybot weekly.....neither of these reacted to
the unchecked malware name. Nor did they find anything to write home
about other than the usual cookies that I know well and often remove
manually.

So I don't think running the two programs you mention will do much good.
I suppose I will go to SpywareBlaster and ask them.
