Labview7 Worm

[cc_lv]

I installed labview 7 express and NI-Switch evaluation software on my computer. I then used a registry clean program to clean the registry and found the following regitry entry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:
Registry Key............................................................. File/Path reference
Software\classes\TypeLib{18FAFE7-F4A1-47B8-8A08-D013829BDFD0\1.0\409\win32 -> C:\dev\lvworm\resource\LVDataType.lib
and
Software\classes\TypeLib{18FAFE7-F4A1-47B8-8A08-D013829BDFD0\1.0\409\win32 -> C:\dev\lvworm\help

Having the lvWorm entry did not look good to me as it looked like some virus. I removed these entries.
Is my system infected with a virus?
Did the labview CD have a virus on it?

cc_lv,

I would go ahead and reinstall those keys. Our internal name for LabVIEW 7 Express was Wormhole. This was lvworm in our source code control. This should not be an issue at all. I am very sorry for the confusion. There is no virus on the CD.
