CCleaner scan comes up with...
ActiveX/COM Issue, AccDictionary.Shortcut.3 - {BDC6D754-F018-A340-FD1C-1090F9A63B2C}, HKCR\AccDictionary.Shortcut.3
...and discussion at http://www.bullguard.com/forum/10/Here-is-how-to-fix-the-Worst-S_2076.html indicates it to be evidence of a 'trojan'.

Click on the following link and use the below steps to scan a file: Virustotal

Click the Browse... button.
Navigate to the file FileToBeScanned

Where FileToBeScanned is the actual file to be scanned. Like C:\WINDOWS\System32\vdmt16.sys
[/LIST]

Thanks for the reply.
'Scan a file'... and I guess thats part of the problem, not sure what file might be associated with the registry entry, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AccDictionary.AccDictionary.1\CLSID [CLSID]
Tried some AgentRansack searches but no luck.
Also found another forum discussion at...

...that said dont worry about it.
Who to believe ?
:-o

Best way to check your system is to do the Read and Run FIrst instructions and let me review the logs.

CCleaner is not a malware scanning program! It is only telling you something about a Windows Registry key that is more than likely not even a registry problem. And in addition, the AccDictionary key is a valid Windows key so either way not a malware problem.
