After doing a scan with Sysinternals' RookitRevealer, three items were found that I need help removing. All three items were registry entries that contained "embedded nulls." Since these entries are hidden from Regedit and Windows, Sysinternals makes a program to removed them: RegDelNull. I'm not good with command line utilities and I'm not having any luck at getting RegDelNull to remove the entries that RR found. Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you very much, that was a big help! Apparently, those entries are associated with Spy Sweeper, although I've never installed that software. Several other people in that thread reported that they found the same registry entries, and they haven't installed Spy Sweeper either. It's kind of a mystery, but at least now I know they aren't part of a spyware program!
