Hi!

Found the following directory:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\L=3000000\
This directory contains excatly only one element:
= =04 00 04 04
(This should be read as-is, i.e. the name of the item is composed of
four chars, namely the equality character and three spaces)

What does it mean?

Thanks in advance,
sasha.

You are describing a KEY and (not a directory) above. It is also a
fully qualified registry path to that key.

Absolutely nothing out of context. It might mean something to the
application that put it there and reads it later. You should usually
also include that TYPE of data, but this looks like REG_SZ.

Otherwise, I do not recognize it as anything familiar to me.

Are you just exploring? Have you run a series of "Anti-*" tools
seeking malware of various types?

Did you try Google? (seems unlikely though). Perhaps someone will
already recognize it and post.

Sure.

I seem to have no malware. What checker do you suggest?
