Hi,

I am running XP with Spybot S&D as one of my security programs. I'm very satisfied with the program. Especially with the system startup list and the toggle features.

Recently I got a new pc and installed XP and all the protection first. But after reviewing the startup list I found this entry.

Located: HK_LM:Run, (DISABLED)
command:
file:
size: 0
MD5: D41D8CD98F00B204E9800998ECF8427E
Warning: if the file is actually larger than 0 bytes,
the checksum could not be properly calculated!

I can't figure out what this is and there is no info text next to the entry as with any of the other entries. I somewhere read about that this is the "hash of nothing" but why is it there at all if so??? And what is it if it's malware or bad?

Anybody here that can shed a light on this one?

Thanks in advance for any help.
