Hi!
Recently, I was tricked into installing a dubious Android emulator called GameLoop. I find it dubious because when it was running, it registered a service that has an string of Asian characters as a name (I think Chinese). I just do not like to have any service I don't know running in my laptop, or a service that has a name that I cannot read.
So I uninstalled the emulator and swore to never install any emulator in the future. So, I checked the running services and found that the service with Chinese characters is gone. I felt relieved, but I still have my doubts that it must had left something within my hard drive or even within the registry. Then, I checked out my registry and found a weird registry entry I never saw before, it is:
Computer\HKEY_USERS\QMConfig
It only contains a (Default) REG_SZ entry with no data value set.
But then, I am always afraid of editing the registry since even I tweak it sometimes, I am still not confident of myself. Perhaps this registry entry is a new feature or is actually not related to the emulator I installed recently.
So my question is: should I remove this registry entry (folder)?
Thank you and have a great day!
