Can someone PLEASE tell me what the hell this key is for:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache

I've scoured the web and have found NO satisfactory explanation anywhere as
to its purpose.

MUI=Multilingual User Interface, which is legit enough. If you use regedit
to browse to the above key, see if the following exist:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache\
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\aprload.exe
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache\
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\monpop.exe

Thank you for your response!

The values you mentioned were not present, however there was a value for
"spysharp.dll" in
there - which is how I discovered this reg key in the first place and
wondered what the
hell it is!

I've now cleaned all the suspicious stuff out of the MUICache key.

Thanks for your help.
