Re: Registry Key info. What is this ?

Hmm. But it only finds one key.

I am using windows 7 ultimate x64 too. thats quite an outdated page for the virus

but the thing is, my current system has never been infected so i'm quite confused about this result in AdwCleaner.

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.

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.
