Doubtful. I just ran Spybot and it came up empty. I am up-to-date with
Windows Update. Have you got the latest Spybot?

Alias

Yes, 1.4.
I let Spybot fix the problem then ran it again. It didn't show up, so may
not have been a false positive.
However, it may be reappear after a restart/boot up.

I meant the latest definitions, not the build. When false positives
appear, the people at Spybot are pretty good at correcting it.

Alias

Yes, I have the latest updates, including the immunisation database.
That's what made me ask if they may be causing it as I've not seen anything
like it before.

Its a false positive in Spybot. If you delete it windows will rebuild
it and you will see it everytime. So just ignore it.

I don't have that key, oh well.

I can't see it being malicious but what I suggest is that you find it
using regedit, export it to a file and keep it somewhere handy where
you can simply click on it to restore if anything stops working. I
think this would be safer than letting spybot do it.

First time I've run Spybot S&D since recent update. I rarely get
anything reported so this one intrigued me.
Under Windows Explorer - User settings:

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1695355980-3387324492-4094481314-1007\Software
\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoLogOff!=W=0

Anybody else found this?
Should I let Spybot delete it?
