Are any of those registry entries disabled now in SpywareBlaster have domain names that match those in the detailed writeup here?

Thanks for checking.
That's probably why you were flagged by Norton and why most likely it's a FP -
My Symantec contact probably won't see the message until early Monday but he will get this over to the appropriate person for review

Interesting amy I just checked my spyware blaster and those files were unchecked in mine.So does this mean that it was SWB that was flagged and not CCleaner.

Or is it FP with an update that is the question?
