Thanks. Just to repeat though, the system has absolutely zero "typical" infected system problems - No browser redirects, program failure/crashes, security download blockages, etc. So the large number of entrys was a large surprise. Anyway, I will proceed to run full scan mbam and the "standard battery" of malicious removal tools to certify the system operation. Good to know mbam is still the premiere bulwark between users and the blackhats out there. Jim.

I admit not understanding the Image File Execution Options key..... but the gist I'm getting of what you say is that removal of these will not negatively effect the system. I ran SAS on the system as well as a Norton scan (not that Norton could be expected to find anything ....) - SAS found the Starware and Gamevance items but none of the registry entrys. Thanks for the quick reply miekiemoes, Jim.

This system has shown no signs of infection, I was just setting up Malwarebytes and some other utilities and a quick scan in Malwarebytes listed 781 problems, some of which appear to be legitimate OS or valid programs. I've installed and used Malwarebytes on many systems and never doubted the results but I need some review of this one and so have attached the log of a quick scan run from command line with /developer as outlined in the "Before Posting False Positives" sticky at the head of the forum. I'll appreciate any assistance clarifying this situation. Jim. mbam_log_2010_04_09__20_51_17_.zip
