Re: Registry Entry!

Thanks, but I've already done as you have suggested plus also with Spybot
S&D, and I've run a full system anti-virus scan with all three showing clean.
The same Registry entry is found on the computer of a friend in Romania and
is also tagged as 'Spyware' by Ad-Aware.

Marty,

Each registry entry is specific to every system. I suggest use MS's
Antispyware Beta1 free software and scan your system for any spyware.

The download is here:

Sorry I can't check the validity of the registry entry as I am not
logged in as administrator on my system.

It appears in the Registry of my computer when I switch the Desktop icons
from 'show' to 'hide' (but not vice versa), and Ad-Aware SE Personal,
Definitions File SE1R91 identifies it as 'Spyware.'
