I didn?t see anyone post a way to delete the registry key added so
here is the tool I found that can accomplish this.

"Regalyzer" from http://www.safer-
networking.org/en/download/index.html

query the key added to the registry.

E:\>reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\empty

! REG.EXE VERSION 3.0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\empty
helloworldhelloworldhelloworldhelloworldhelloworldhelloworldhellowor
ldhelloworldhelloworldhelloworldhelloworldhellow
orldhelloworldhelloworldhelloworldhelloworldhelloworldhelloworldhell
oworldhelloworldhelloworldhelloworldhelloworldhellow
orldhelloworldhelloworl REG_SZ

E:\ >

After removing the key from the registry with Reglyzer

E:\ reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\empty
! REG.EXE VERSION 3.0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\empty

E:\ >

Best of luck mike king
