There is a program listed in MSconfig's StartUp list, without a name or
Command, but located in HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Run\. Could it be malicious and trying to hide its
presence/identity and would it be desitrable to remove it ? Could it be
a 'ping' command that I sometimes try to use to wake the modem up ?
 
It could be from anything! My feeling is this. If a program does not want to
identify it's entry - I don't keep the entry - period. There is no call for
this from a reputable program from a reputable company.
