Winvestigator keylogger installed?

Hullo folks. Need a bit of help, if possible.

I run Spysweeper every evening on this computer, and usually it finds a few cookies that it says are bad, and I have them removed. This morning, I found that it had a registry trace of "Winvestigator". After looking that up, I found that, while legit at times, it can be used as a keylogger. Seeing as this is my computer, and I'm not trying to use it to track my own virtual movements, I'm a bit concerned about it. I'm not sure how the trace ended up there, and I'm not even sure if its actually installed. I went about trying to remove it according to the manual instructions I found, but there was nothing in any of the places I was looking, including the registry editor.

So, I guess my question is: Do I have to worry about this keylogger now?

Below is the DDS log, and below that is a snippet of the Spysweeper log that brought this all to my attention. I've also attached the Attach.txt file, as per the post read at the top of this forum. The log file itself says not to post it unless requested, though. Contradictory, so I wasn't really sure what to do.

I also ran the RootRepeal, but the log that it produced was empty. Not sure if that is normal or not.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
