Ad-watch Alert

aceuk · Mar 19, 2006

Ad-watch would not stop detecting a registry modification,over 9000.Only way to stop it was to reboot.
Message:-
Root:HKEY_LOCAL_Machine
Key:Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run
Value:Kernel Fault Check
Data:
New Data:%systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -k

I am running Xp home (genuine),Zone Alarm SS , Ad-aware.
Nothing else on machine apart from a small game my wife downloaded from Yahoo (Dynomite Deluxe).
When we started up the pc there was a note pad message off one line long but I did not get a chance to see it properly.
Should I be concerned by what Ad-watch has detected.

Thanx

I don't know if this helps here is a Hijack log:-
