I have run RootkitRevealer for www.sysinternals.com. It has
turned up a strange registry entry.

The entry is in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.
It seems to be a folder. Its "name" comes after "W", and it
looks like two squares ( I guess they are some kind of
non-printable characters ? )

I tried different softwares to remove it, no luck. I right-clicked
on it and tried every option, all I get is error messages. It
doesn't even show any security info about it.

I don't have any problem with my PC, I *think*, but I don't
like this... Is there a solution for this ? Rebuilding the
Registry ? Thanks for any help & suggestion.

Cheers, Csaba
