Ad-Aware SE: what is "Windows Object Recognized!"

I can't find anything about what this is. I did see that the TAC (threat assessment chart) said it was "low", but no description other than a possible IE security problem. This is the part of the log from Ad-Aware:

-----------
Windows Object Recognized!
Type : RegData
Data :
TAC Rating : 3
Category : Vulnerability
Comment : Manual changing of browser start-page restricted
Rootkey : HKEY_USERS
Object : S-1-5-21-515967899-413027322-682003330-1008\software\policies\microsoft\internet explorer\control panel
Value : Homepage
Data :

Registry Scan result:
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
New critical objects: 1
Objects found so far: 1

I've scanned with:

CounterSpy -- nothing
Spyware Blaster -- nothing
Spyware Guard -- nothing
Spybot S&D -- nothing
A-squared -- nothing

Also using:
ZoneAlarm
NAV
SpywareBlaster
IESpyAd
BHO Demon

Any thoughts about this?

Thanks,

Callie

 

That's just a warning that there is a restriction from making changes to the home page settings area of Internet Explorer. You've likely set this restriction with one of your Anti-Spy type apps; from what you've listed both Spyware Blaster and Spybot have this functionality. It's nothing to worry about, you can safely set Ad-Aware to ignore that finding.

Thanks, that does make sense and Yes, I probably did make that restriction myself. Too bad there wasn't more of an explanation but hey, that's what youse guys is for, right?

I have another strange one, but I'll post it with its own title.

Thanks again.
