SP3 Registry change warnings

[ElizaDoolittle]

I downloaded SP3 from another computer and installed it from a CD. I have
Spybot, which raised about 25 registry key warnings as I installed, which I
allowed. and now as I am rebooting, I am getting another 25 or so registry
key warnings. They are things such as:
System Startup Global Entry
Value Deleted
Entry: OE_WMPWMFSDK_INSTALL_24
Old data: C\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\regscr32 /s "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WMSdmod.dll"

and

Old Data: C:\WINDOWS\INF\unregmp2.exe/ Migrate Library

My instinct is to deny these changes that are made after reboot. Can anyone
offer suggestions?

Thanks so much to those who offer time and talent here.

If you want to successfully install SP3, you need to disable Spybot's
TeaTimer (which is what is causing the problem and yes, this is a problem
for installing SP3) and your antivirus. I would have *nothing* but what is
absolutely necessary running in the background. FWIW, I've installed SP3 on
a *lot* of machines and have had no problems, but I follow best practices,
i.e., making sure the system is squeaky-clean, running in tip-top shape,
and nothing extra is running resident.
