I believe you are correct.
There is more information in the post here:

Apparently Avid (the makers of Pinnacle Studio) use a Windows exploit
to provide an illegal value to their registration key such that one can
not open, view, modify, or delete that key (even their un-installation
program leaves the basically permanent exploit behind).
Isn't there a body out there that condemns these illegal (with respect
to syntax) exploits of the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. I
don't know much about computers so an expert can tell me if this is
malware or ineptware or just secretware - but it doesn't feel right to
the SysInternals rootkit revealer software which reporte it in the
first place.
