SP3 Registry change warnings

[Guest ElizaDoolittle]

I downloaded SP3 from another computer and installed it from a CD. I have

Spybot, which raised about 25 registry key warnings as I installed, which I

allowed. and now as I am rebooting, I am getting another 25 or so registry

key warnings. They are things such as:

System Startup Global Entry

Value Deleted

Entry: OE_WMPWMFSDK_INSTALL_24

Old data: C\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\regscr32 /s "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WMSdmod.dll"

 

and

 

Old Data: C:\WINDOWS\INF\unregmp2.exe/ Migrate Library

 

My instinct is to deny these changes that are made after reboot. Can anyone

offer suggestions?

 

Thanks so much to those who offer time and talent here.

If you want to successfully install SP3, you need to disable Spybot's

TeaTimer (which is what is causing the problem and yes, this is a problem

for installing SP3) and your antivirus. I would have nothing but what is

absolutely necessary running in the background. FWIW, I've installed SP3 on

a lot of machines and have had no problems, but I follow best practices,

i.e., making sure the system is squeaky-clean, running in tip-top shape,

and nothing extra is running resident.
