    This is not malware and it is a valid registry key! Perhaps there is just somethings corrupted in the value you have in that registry key. Let's see if the below fixes it.

    Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixme.reg to your desktop (overwrite the previous file). Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.
