SpywareBlaster is *NOT* a Spyware scanner, please make the distinction!
The Registry values that you cite exist on three Windows XP Pro boxes of mine.
They /all/ have the Key that you describe, therefore it must be a false-positive,
_IGNORE_ the finding. Messing with your Registry *may* render your machine
unbootable - thus requiring a Repair re-installation or a (complete)
re-installation.

Thank you so much for responding. I ran sypblaster, not spyware blaster.
they are different programs. It was spyblaster which alerted me to the
suspect file below.

should i still take the same action?

thanks again

NO! - I have never heard of this program "spyblaster"...
They run an affiliate program where a secondary vendor can make
money on a "pay-per-click" basis - I would not run this software.
It may be legitimate but sounds like a risk, at best.

My recommendation would be to uninstall it immediately via Add/Remove
Programs in your Control Panel Applet.
