Key name contains embedded nulls.
The Windows API treats key names as null-terminated strings whereas the kernel treats them as counted strings. Thus, it is possible to create Registry keys that are visible to the operating system, yet only partially visible to Registry tools like Regedit. The Reghide sample code at Sysinternals demonstrates this technique, which is used by both malware and rootkits to hide Registry data.

This is from its help file... My system scan reveals the same... I haven't too much time to interpret it but it seems to be normal and not a problem really...
