Strange Registry Key- Possible spyware


I was looking through regedit and was this key

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWARE·ÎÄà ÀÀ¿ë ÇÁ·Î±×·¥ ¸¶¹ý»ç¿¡¼* »ý¼ºÇÑ ÀÀ¿ë ÇÁ·Î±×·¥

I believe its some spyware. I need advice on how to deal with it
Thank you

Scan the system with antispyware / antivirus.

Report back findings.

Recommended malware scanners:

Malwarebytes (Free version will work well)

AdwCleaner

TDSSKiller (To rule out the possibility of rootkits)
   Note

When running TDSSKiller, launch the program, click on the blue text "Change Parameters" & check the box marked "Detect TDLFS File system." Click OK & then run the scan.

I did a full system scan with malewarebytes and Avast and both found nothing

Malwarebytes and TSDDKILLER found nothing. Doing AdwCleaner right now

Edit: AdwCleaner found nothing

Hi.
That's definitely an odd entry. I am surprised that none of the scans returned anything at all.
Please try running an ESET Online Scan. You can find detailed instructions in the thread below on how to manipulate it.

Has the system been cleaned from infection in the past? Could be a leftover?
Have you run CCleaner Free on the registry to see if that particular key is flagged as broken?

It didn't come up in CCleaner, and i do not believe that this is a leftover infection that was cleaned. (The only infection that avast has picked up are tracking cookies)

ESET Scanner flagged the following
C:$Recycle.BinS-1-5-21-550920438-923572385-2769641918-1001$RZL59UK.exe a variant of Win32/Adware.Coupons.AA application

Should i go ahead an clean it. Dunno if it'll solve what that registry key is tho.

Hi. Sorry for the delay in responding. Yes, I would go ahead and clean that - it's something to do with coupon printers, which are considered adware/spyware.

Please see my post #7 above.

Cleaned the adware out, but the registry key is still there. I didn't get the exact thing in CCleaner when i scanned the registry, but something similar
