Question Wierd stuff happening in registry? Help?

So i was removing adware/spyware the other day and decide to clean up my registry as well but i found something really weird in my start up programs. Something was there but it was just blank, and i had the option to check the box beside the empty space for the program to run or not at startup. ?????????????? WHAT????What is it????? Any suggestions? Thanks

What are you using to clean the registry? I would stay away from using it. Are you on XP? If so go to start, run, type msconfig, go to startup, there you can enable/disable startup items.
