Problem with the new freeware Malware Removal

After installing Malware Removal, I rebooted into 'Safe Mode', as recommended, to ran the program. When I clicked on the 'Start Scan' button a window popped up with the following message: Title of box 'Malware Removal'. The message was 'Error opening parent key'. At the bottom was a hot button with 'OK' on it.

After I click 'OK', a box appears titled "Malware Removal Tool - June 2005' with an inner box titled 'System Scan' with the following information: 'Scanning Complete. WinTools and Specialgoods/Newgenhook.info were not detected on your system.' At the bottom is a hot button with 'Done' on it.

Could the error message indicate I'm not getting a thorough scan and maybe a false conclusion? Or should I pay no heed to the error message?

Thx,

Mac

 

OK, forget I asked. I went ahead and uninstalled it. Sorry to be any bother.
