Whilst trying to iradicate a virus I came a cross the following key
within HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\

It is simply called )r:n+

There is no data within it.

What is it
 
What led you to nose around in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ to
find it?

Whatever you do, don't delete the key without having first backed it up!

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
