corrupted registry value's under hkey_classes_root\clsid

I the last couple off days i have seen a lot of computers
with what looks like corrupted registry value's

Mostly in the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00020420-0000-0000-C000-
000000000046}
Normally there are under the key Inprocserver32 two value's
(Default) REG_SZ 'Oleaut32.dll'
(ThreadingModel) REG_SZ 'Both'

But I now have a third on that says:

(Inprocserver32) REG_MULTI_SZ 't3UA*-K5g()H30(Hh-
RQLocalUIComponents>8t_(u]$&...........'

Has anybody seen that and know's where the line comes from?

On some computers I have more then ten of those lines in
the registry

It gives a lot of problems
- Find command does not work
- Images in IE or not displayed
- Open in a new windows does not work
- Handheld's cannot symchronize anymore
- CD Burns programs gives error's
- Attachmate (terminal emulator) gives problems
- Windows Installer does not work anymore

And the list goes on.

I can solve the problems by removing all the corupted keys
and use the "regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll" command, but I really
have to find the underlying problem.

If anybody has seen it and knows what it causes you can
mail me, or post here.

Thanks in advance,
