Win2000 Registry - Does anyone recognize this???

Tech post:5:

How are you monitoring the registry, I mean, how did you find that, each time, this registry key is rewritten?

I found it initially by accident searching the registry for another key. Then, I kept an eye on it.

Tech post:3:

But indeed interpret the log is not an easy task… Take care. Better post the log here.

Here is log and start-up list. But it is not complete. There is one service not there that I am wondering about: HID.DLL. I do not recall seeing it before, but it is now running on start-up. This morning, I set the service to ‘manual start’ and will see what happens. But it was running when I did the initial Hijack this scan.

Another new event. Kerio FW will now not recognize nor open ports for Netscape or Thunderbird. TCPView sees them, however. Outcome: cannot connect to URLs with SPF Kerio FW ruinning…
