It means the user disabled the "search" feature from showing up in the Start Menu.

Hi thanks
So I should just ignore it? i just got the laptop never disabled anything kinda new to this thanks for your help

You could ignore it but if you want your "Search" feature to show up in the Start Menu, you can let MBAM fix it. It will just restore the registry key back to it's default value.

Actually, since it's Vista Service Pack 1 not having the Search item in the start menu is the default value (thanks to Google and their anti-trust lawsuit against Microsoft ).

Ah okay, my mistake... Thanks for clearing that up exile.

No problem .
