Is that picture a screenshot of the quarantine (Virus Vault) or after a scan?

Those items are fine, they are put into the Registry as part of a security program, similar to SpyBot Search and Destroy, Spywareblaster, etc do....

pedroguy had posted that information back in Post #4 here in your thread. Now, we have visual confirmation that those Registry items are from a good program, not infections at all.

So, unless there are specific files that were found infected, I would say you are good to go.

In the AVG Virus Vault, is there any files shown as infected? You probably will have to manually record any, and include the file path.....

**Also> having a keylogger or other infection is not the only way bank information can be stolen....actually, the clerks in stores can steal from your accounts if they wish to try, and also the bank or credit card company's computers could have been hacked, resulting in a lot of people's accounts being available to thievery. There are many incidences of this type of theft every day.

The Kaspersky scan would have shown if any malware of the amount and type that you were suspecting found by AVG was actually on your computer.

No infections were found in the virus vault. Guess I'm good to go.

Thanks,
