Explorer uses for keys for User Assistant for Active Desktop !

[Lars]

My PC seems to go very slow so I ran RegMon from System Internals.

A large proportion of the activity during a slowdown is explorer
qyerying values in a key which is to do with User Assistant for
Active desktop.

I have never enabled active desktop. Yet the system seems to go
through every single program I have got installed. (See an example
below.)

Can I prevent this wasteful activity on my PC?

--------

One example key is this:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist\{7
5048700-EF1F-11D0-9888-006097DEACF9}\Count\UEME_RUNPATH:C:\Program
Files\AntiVir PE\AVWIN.EXE

Where "75048700-EF1F-11D0-9888-006097DEACF9" is to do with Active
desktop.

Are you sure this is not your antivirus scanner ?
