Greetings,

Rootkit Revealer found a file located:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\RNG\Seed.

The file showed a window called Edit Binary Value. The window showed the
Value name: Seed. In the window was a table with the Value data. There were
numbers and number letter combinations. On the right column of the table
were letters. A few of these letters were characters in the English alphabet
and most were characters that are not in the English alphabet.

I have no idea what this is. Do others have something similar located in
their registry located in a similar location.

Is this something that I can safely delete from my registry?

What is it purpose?

Thanks in advance for your help and consideration.

Leigh
