Please see screenshot in the attached zip file. This is a persistent suspect item in the Windows registry detected by Trend Micro's Anti-Spyware program with every scan, but even though it is supposedly deleted it reappears for no apparent reason (ie no internet browsing in the interim, etc). I just ran Spybot S&D and this particular item did not seem to be detected. I would love to figure out a way to get rid of it permanently. If I recall correctly, it originally showed up as a suspect cookie before then turning into a suspect item of the same name in the Windows registry. Even if it is a low risk threat, it is annoying because of its persistence. Thoughts?

[NOTE: This is a duplicate of a post made earlier today in the New or Undetected forum -- I am not sure which forum it belongs in.]

Just belatedly read the instructions for posting threads on this forum. Have done an online virus scan with no reported problems. Here is a HJT log file and a SpyBot log file.

I haven't ran into this before and cannot say if the information there is accurate
