Default Simple question about SUPERAntiSpyware

When installing Superantispyware program, Spybot detected a registry change. Category: Winlogon Notifiers Change: Key Added

My question: Allow change? Or deny?

Thanks.

It surely has to do with SAS' First Chance Prevention.
Allow change

That's the problem with security software and multiple choice questions : you usually have 50% chance to answer correctly.

That is the SAS winlogon value and a legitimate object.

HJT value>>>
O20 - Winlogon Notify: !SASWinLogon - C:\Program Files\SUPERAntiSpyware\SASWINLO.dll

It's not absolutely essential for it to be in place but it will handicap SAS's ability to detect and remove certain types of malware if present so it is advisable to allow it to install

You must have much better luck (or knowledge) than me. I would put my chances of answering correctly at closer to 5% chance.
