Hey guys. I've done a full scan with a couple of anti-virus's and my computer comes up clean. Although today I decided to run the online scan provided by a-squared malware. It picked up the following:

Trace.Registry.Ares!A2

While expanding the box it shows me the following two registry values associated with the above mentioned name.

Trace: Value: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3E0FA044-926C-42D9-BA 12-EF 16E980913B}\InprocServer32 --> ThreadingModel
Trace: Value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{3E0FA044-926C-42D9-BA 12-EF 16E980913B}\InprocServer32 --> ThreadingModel



Any expert advice in whether these entries are harmful would be greatly appreciated. If possible, an explanation on exactly what those values are would be very helpful. I want to make sure these are not false positives, seeing as my anti-virus (Eset NOD32) did not pick these up.

What exactly are these registry values?

Thank you in advance

These CLSID's don't exist on my Vista or on my Win7 systems.

I'd avoid deleting registry keys in anything but HKEY_CURRENT_USER as the effect could be unpredictable (and disastrous).

I'd also suggest posting over in the Malware forums for a more definitive answer (I can't locate anything on the CLSID's with a google search).
