What to do when an infection is detected in "ActiveX Compatibility" registry key?

June 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment

i use spybot search & destroy, spywareblaster, spyware doctor 3.0, and avg free 8.0 and when i do a system scan on avg, it comes up w/ a bunch of warnings about potential threats.

i went to the site FAQ and it said this:
An "ActiveX Compatibility" registry key is a result of the "Immunize" function included in some anti-spyware programs (e.g.: "Spybot search & destroy", "Spyware blaster",…)
The key contains the same registry entries as the actual threats, thus preventing them from working correctly. Some anti-spyware programs use this method to prevent launching of the malware. Unfortunately, these parts are still detected by AVG Free signatures and that is why AVG marks them as infected.
To assure protection provided by AVG Free against these threats, it is not possible to remove such signatures from AVG Free virus bases.

i'm sure this is the answer to my question, but the problem is i don't understand what it's saying. explanation please?
