It can be a security risk if the script is not written properly. If its a reputable script it should be ok. Try the script without first though, it might still work.

Open the php.ini file with Windows Notepad or any text editor, locate the line which begins with register_globals, and change its value to off. Save the file. Restart the server to ensure that all your PHP processes will be unloaded and will use the new php.ini settings.
