It has appeared on many supposedly infected systems, but so do alot of other registry entries. Admittedly most of the posts I have found mentioning it, were suspect of it, and posted within the last few days. So far no antivirus programs state that this hidden registry entry is unwanted material or malware. I have had hidden entries detected before that did no damage. There seems to be no way of finding out what the entry could be connected with, and if its something that should be deleted. If so then Ill need to find out the best method of deletion if it turns out to be something I definately dont want.

Aside from my wirelesskey checking program, a fully updated malwarebytes did not find this hidden registry entry (or at least did not give me any related warnings). thanks

one last post-Ive reinstalled windows, and the exact same registry entry has appeared yet again, in the same place. Although Ive created system restore points whilst updating windows, I am unable to restore to any set dates (eg before any windows update), as after the restoration Im given a general message saying that there was an issue and it couldnt go back to my set date. All I did after the reinstall of windows, was update it, and then install office 2007. The same registry entry shows once again as being non deletable/unreadable, as if corrupt? One of the folders in the registry under this DbgagD entry is called "1", and when I click on it, windows states that it cannot find the file specified, so I dont know whether to bother ignoring this entry from now on as just corrupt, or constantly reinstall windows until I work out what program could be causing the entry to appear :( i tried RegDelNull but in vista it would immediately state that the scan was finished upon clicking, so im looking for a similar tool that can remove registry entries with corrupt or null-embedded characters

that was me :) ive found very little on it so far, DbGagD seems to be some sort of generic term, as other users have also been suspicious of it, located at [HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\DbgagD\1*]

With my own value at Software\Microsoft in the registry, I cant do a system restore, but that could also be down to the protection software and not the suspicious registry file (I have avira and comodo installed). When I try a restore before the registry entry appeared, I get this:- http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/5453/unledlts.jpg

The bottom image is when I try and log off and in again as another user, im not sure if its related or not, but its been happening over the past few days too (the same time as the above registry entry reappearing-but that could be a coincidence). Im not sure what to do other than reinstall for the 3rd time and install nothing at all aside from windows updates (or just office updates) to see if thats the main cause. I cant remove the registry entry at all-that probably annoys me more than the possible fact that it (might not) be an infection :)
