i of course edited it becase it was so long i just left the registry section...

i thought maybe removing fl studio and the registry entries might work, but it didnt... could someone please help, i have no clue whats up when it comes to the registry...
 
That looks like a false positive in my opinion.

However, just in case, go and read this thread HERE and post a HJT log as an attachment.

Your HJT log is clean. Therefore, I`m even more convinced that your Ad-Aware result is a false positive. Maybe due to Vista being so new?
