Hi there people. I have noticed some unrecognized programs and entries in my registry editor under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software. I just cant remember some of the names, are they installed by me or not. It seems like I didnt install any of it, but somehow during the internet surf or other similar internet activity, some automted procedure or else. I dont know what should I do. How to determine are these entries possible threat or not? Thanks in advance.

You can see these entries on a Microsoft web site are they valid or not. You can also download and see what is inside your registry with HijackThis software. By using this software, you can get its origin, and more clearer picture about it. Take a few scans with Lavasoft antispyware utility after analysis from the Microsoft's web site. Oh, and you dont need to worry about that, there is no PC that is completely clean.
