do you have this weird registry key?

Hi

i have never installed paragon software , but i found this weird registry key

yesterday ,in hardware manager i found unknow device

and one is related to

Code:

PARAGONBLOCKDEVICE

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\PARAGONBLOCKDEVICE

i uninstalled the unknown device but i have still this key

can you please give a look and see if you have this registry key?
i would appreciate it a lot!

thanks

I don't have that in mine. But, I only have Win 7 64 bit Home version, not Ultimate.

Hello drugo,

The ControlSet001 key is only a backup copy of the actual CurrentControlSet key, so that would be why it's still showing there in the backup. Double check the CurrentControlSet key location to see if it may still be there instead. :)

hi
thanks
i have only this key , under

CurrentControlSet

thre is nothing
and i 'm sure i did not install paragon software
is there a way to know the date (created date of this key?)

thanks

In addition, you could also safely delete the PARAGONBLOCKDEVICE key if you like since it's only in the ControlSet001 backup key. :)

I have the key but I have Paragon installed. Sure Paragon wasn't installed a long time ago, then removed? Like maybe you did a trial?

hi
i use the device manager , and i removed my wd external drive ,and the key did disapear
i guess the drive does it use ses driver , don't know why w7 add this key, but as soon as i removed the drive is gone

thanks to everyone

Great news. :)
