That is very curious: the Denemo installation does not touch the
registry. 
It just copies files to c:/program files/denemo
it does not even offer to create a menu item, set the path or anything
as I recall.
Maybe we should be thinking about the possibility that your
InstallDenemo.exe has been altered by something after being downloaded.
In principle, you could test for this by running the fingerprint thing
(although, theoretically, once your machine is compromised nothing is
sure). I guess the command is
gpg --verify InstallDenemo.exe
but you would need gpg running on windows to do that. Otherwise download
on a trusted machine, write-protect (e.g. CD-ROM) and then compare the
files byte by byte.
