Registry Key info. What is this ?

Hi guys I have come across this registry key which AdwCleaner finds. This is not the first time it has found it.

Re: Is it possible to tell if removed files (one folder, one registry item) were harmful

Hello,

This element was only used as a malicious search engine in your browser, not as a keylogger.

Best regards,

Is it possible to tell if removed files (one folder, one registry item) were harmful

Specifically is it possible to tell by what is in my quarantine whether the items found by adwcleaner were using is keystroke logging?  I'm trying to figure out if I need to go and change all of my passwords.

 

Removed items were:

Registry key:   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppID\BHO.DLL

 

Thanks very much.

Can you share AdwCleaner logfile? Usually from C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner[Cxx].txt

 

Thanks,
