This registry setting is a security feature that helps protect your computer from attacks by malicious users or by malware. Spybot added that detection a while back because some downloaded toolbars were found to alter that setting which can affect a users "My Computer Zone" settings.
Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet options > Advanced tab > scroll down to "security". If "Allow active content to run in files on my computer" is checked, UNcheck it > Apply > OK.
Rescan with Spybot.

Bugbatter, I followed these instructions: Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet options > Advanced tab > scroll down to "security". If "Allow active content to run in files on my computer" is checked, UNcheck it > Apply > OK. This was checked and I unchecked it. Then I rescanned with Spybot. The new scan showed nothing.
Thank you for such complete instructions. Annie
