Try downloading Spybot search and destroy,it's a great free program that could solve your problem.I run it every week,it's surprising what it catches.I also have AVG which is excellent for viruses,but won't deal with spyware and malware.
Good Luck.

I agree with enigmatic1 that you should try Spybot Search and Destroy. This is a free download. The problem does seem to be a malicious spyware or trojan on your computer. The activity of your Registry Monitor is showing that changes have and are happening to you computer registry, therefor something is actively running and affecting your computer.

Download and run Spybot and see what it finds, sometimes it will find somthing that it can not clean but even this information is helpful in finding a solution. Before you rebuild your computer give Spybot a go and let us know what the results are.

Okies. There are a few things you need to do. Spybot is a great start, but try having the yahoo toolbar with anti spy installed and run that first. Then, start your computer in safe mode and run spybot. Then run ccleaner (crap cleaner.) Install a tea timer during your spybot install so you get warned before changing your values again. I also recommend AVAST free edition. That one will find any nasty thing running around on there.

Your registry program "says" there are changes but doesn't show what they are. They could be legitimate.

The combo that has worked flawlessly for over 10 years for me is AVGFree, Spybot S&D (with TeaTimer), Spywareblaster and NoScript for Firefox (except NoScript was a recent find). All but NoScript requires manual updates unless you buy the software, I do it every time I turn on my machine or every day if I leave it on.

Nothing gets past that setup and if it does, it doesn't work because I don't allow any changes to my registry (TeaTimer shows them to me) unless I initiated it.

Make sure you have the latest update to Adobe Reader while you're at it.

Easier than a reinstall is going back to a previous Restore Point (you DO have Restore Points turned on, right?). Start a backup routine for all your important files (I use http://carbonite.com so I don't risk losing files from theft or HD failure at home, but it requires an active/online connection). Uninstall programs you haven't used in over 6 months and don't run more than one Anti-Virus program. Oh, and uninstall the Registry Monitor while you're at it. I hate programs that SAY they find stuff but charge me to do anything about it when there's free programs that work wonderfully. There are programs that get you started by SAYING you need their services but are scams. Read more about internet threats at http://2mw.mcafee.com/ .

Get a router and let that be your firewall, turn off the Windows Firewall once it's configured.

Do yourself a favor and check your setup by going to http://www.grc.com/default.htm . There are many wonderful (and safe) tools on that site. Your firewall can be tested with the Shields Up tester. Please read all the material before using. You'll learn a lot but that shouldn't hurt too much. :)

The best free antispyware software today is SuperAntiSpyware. You have probably picked up a dialer. They generally come from porn sites.

Get Spybot Search & Destroy, and see what it can find (after you've downloaded all the updates and applied the immunization knowledge to the "Tea Timer").

Spybot S&D (with Tea Timer enabled and running) in conjunction with AVG free edition are about all you need for 99.999% of any of the trouble you're likely to run into... and the boys at Spybot S&D will have earned a paypal-tip if it solves a problem, because they do all that work as an open-source favor to the planet (personally motivated because they hate hate hate Trojan-horse engineers).

These are all good suggestions, I only want to add one. For trojans, these programs can be aggressive and viscious. Download your software to rid yourself of trojans onto a flash drive and download a few (I downloaded 5). I found that the trojan that I was dealing with disabled a few of my trojan removers. by using the flash drive, you can continue to inject it causing damage to the trojan.

There are many free trojan removal software programs that you can use. I am submitting a list for you to search through.

the registry program you have shown *seems* to be one of those fake programs, which show there are problems, when there are not, making you buy them to *fix* the problems, and all of a sudden, with this paid program theyre gone! o:

the problem you seem to be having, sounds very likely to be spyware, a malicious code that infects your computer, then advertises something every **** minutes. The best anti-viruses i can reccomend are the kapersky 2009 Antivirus, or NOD32, both of which cost, but have served me well in the past, and are cheap.
Good Luck fixing this.

Seems like visiting untrusted site,
your chrome browser was exploited.
Next stage Adobe Reader was used to install mailware/adware/trojan in your PC computer.

What to do:
- AVG/NOD possible doesn't immediately detect this new clone of mailware/adware. They detect _known_ patterns of viruses, but your pc infected by something new, and possible unknown.

- Try Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Hijack This programs.
http://www.computing.net/answers/security/virus-alert-in-taskbar/23566.html
they help you to found suspicious code, and mark it if they recognize something strange.
Also you may use http://www.virustotal.com/ - for checking suspicious programs.
Good luck !
