    Strange Registry Key- Possible spyware

    Okay, I would - just to be safe - back up your registry (or just the key, if you know how to do that), then go ahead and delete it. Then if you get any errors, you have your registry backed up to fix the problem.

    Still, I think Ccleaner would have flagged that if there wasn't still something on your system using it...but we'll see. *Wink
