Ok i did a ad-ware search today and i got like 5 malware each a type RegKey. They had TAC rating of 8!!!

So i look up malware and its "like" a virus. But i dont know what the RegKey means can anyone explain this to me. It sounds like a keylogger, do i need to change my comp password?

I dont know the name of it I deleted as soon as I saw.

gonegaming12,

We need more details to try to understand your issues. Could you post the Ad-Aware scan log where these detections were found?

Please can you make sure that you are using
Ad-aware SE Build 106r1
Note: If your version is 6.0 and not the SE, you need to uninstall and get the latest version from the above link.

[if not Uninstall your old Ad-aware first then install SE]
Then use the WebUpDate
to get the latest Definition file

To do this Open Ad-aware
Click the WebUpDate
button at the top right hand side of the Ad-aware screen (The world globe).
Click "Connect"
Ad-aware will then download the latest Definition file for you.
To make sure it is updated , look at the main
Ad-aware screen, and look under "Initialization Status"
It should say the Latest Definition file.
then scan doing a "Full Scan"
and then post your logfile here by using the Add-Reply Feature .
