I found these entries in the HKCU root (see image linked below). They don't appear to be malware related, but one can never be too careful. I'm at a loss at the moment.

Thanks.

If you're not having a problem with the machine, why worry about it. I don't know anyone that can interpret every registry entry. If you're running your antispyware and antivirus, that's all you can do.

Fair enough. It just seems odd to have those entried right in the root.

I'll do a few scans and see if anything turns up.

Thanks.

I do not have such entries in my root, in my XP Home Ed.
Only the top entry called "Default"

Most Virus and Spyware scans are likely to work better in Windows Safe-Mode.

If you have installed Acoustica CD Label Maker, you'll get these registry entries.
