"Serchsquire Adware" is created by the software spybot
search and destroy, i think that is not dangerous.
you can cancel the key with regedit but when you use
spybot the key is regenerated. by sorry for my english
i'm italian
 
The fact that the second key it reports shows the value *
to be set to 4 means that searchsquire domain has been
added to the restricted zone, (which is what Spybot does;
spywareblaster also adds domains to the restricted zone in
this way).

Generally, if MAS reports a possible malware in
zonemaps\domains key, set it to ignore if it shows * is
set to 4, let it remove if set to anything else (some
malware will use that key to set its domain in the trusted
zone).
