System Startup applications Tea Timer

[Salim26]

Would you please tell me what the string "S-1-5-21-2775514201-1248352304-3043785832-1002" found in Tea Timer (see below) means?

I searched the internet about it, but there was no information available. What is even strange is that the same string was found by another anti-malware application as being malicious cookies named Gostats and Com.com.

The whole report is as follows:

IMHO, that's user generated code which is probably used for identifying username. All HK_CU startups can have S-1-5-## (which is usually, 15,18,20 for system accounts and 21 for default users, the exception of this is ".DEFAULT" which could be current user). If you go to HKEY_USERS using Registry Editor, you'll see these codes and when you expand one of them, you'll see registry settings of selected user.
