374249 2005-07-22 05:07:00 I am trying to reinstall AVG but get the following notice:
Local machine: installation failed
Initialization:
Error: Checking of state of the item registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run failed.
The configuration registry database is corrupt. (1009)

What can I do about it?

Is it there? As Netsky.s a worm puts this command in under this entry in the registry. And will most probably screw the registry up.

I think my problems started when I installed Adobe Reader 6.1 which I have since uninstalled
