in my Hkey_current_user/Software location, there is a folder named "crglckfckybrykw". i look in it and there are about 12 entries, dwords and binary. all the entries have strange nonsensical names to them too. does anyone know what the hell this could be? is it a virus or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fancy take a screenshot of the strings in there?
Do You have an Antivirus Program up to date?

Anyway, I say delete that folder!

You can always make a copy of a key before deleting it. Select the key to export and use File>Export in Regedit.

I had the same key, TWICE, This was a month ago so i deleted it & everything seems to be OK. I use AVG & Trojan Remover & keep them up to date so if it comes back just delete it.
