Hi all,

What would cause regkey.exe to use over 200,000k of memory? In my Task
Manager Processes I see this running. My computer seems to run real slow
when regkey.exe starts to use alot of memory. If I end the process, then my
computer seems to run normal for a few seconds, but then regkey.exe starts
running again and before I know it, it's using a ton of memory. Do I have
some type of virus? I ran AdAware and the only thing it found was something
called Virtumundo. I quarantined it and ran AdAware again to see if it was
gone, but it still shows up. What can I do?

Thanks,
Tim

Do you have any antivirus software installed? Ad-Aware will find spyware,
but it does nothing with viruses.
 
Yes, I have Norton AntiVirus. I've even ran it in SafeMode and still nothing
is found. I've also tried Spybot. The only thing I haven't tried is
HijackThis because I wouldn't know what to look for.
