    Jouni's RegCleaner

    I have a couple questions regarding a few of the items RegCleaner is bringing to my attention:

    QUESTION #1:
    Do I need to keep HIWIRE on my system?
    And if not, since it's not listed in ADD/REMOVE Programs, how might I go about the ridding?

    HIWIRE is listed as NEW under the software tab:
    I"ve noticed HIWIRE before, but ADAWARE never hit on it and I just thought it was one of the Windows related progs necessary for particular functions, like ActiveX, or something else.

    Finding it today listed as a NEW piece of software to my system prompted me to look into HIWIRE.

    AS IT TURNS OUT, the company's slogan is:
    "Your streaming Ad Management Solution"
    (from the HIWIRE company website)
    Personally, the only solution I need re streaming ads is how to get rid of them all together!

    Here are what RegCleaner identified as the related keys:
    Author : [Unknown]
    Software : Hiwire
    Age : Old [read as NEW earlier today]

    If you choose to remove this item these keys would be removed
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hiwire
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Hiwire.TransportCenter.1
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Hiwire.TransportCenter
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Hiwire.UserRegRequest.1
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Hiwire.UserRegRequest
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Hiwire.UserListenRequest.1
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Hiwire.UserListenRequest
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Hiwire.Register.1
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Hiwire.Register

    QUESTION #2:
    After running ReCLeaner, I have 4 recurring entries.
    Do any of you have any insights as to what these are and why they are recurring?

    Root: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
    key: \icofile\open\command
    Entry's name: {KEY
    Value: {KEY}

    and 2 more listed the same, if substitute icofile with
    curfile &
    anifile

    the 4th recurring entry is clearly related to my zip program, PowerDesk:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PoweDesk\shellopen\command

    TIA...
