Does anyone recognize this?
It's under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software (and HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-....\Sodtware) on an English WinXP machine.
I don't remember ever having installed something called 'PC Sync', definitely not the LapLink product with the same name (and no synching software anyway).
There are no other keys named 'PC Sync' in the registry.
Added:
It's Korean, Franks comment is correct - Google translate now converts it to:
Local AppWizard-generated application.
Googling for Local AppWizard, I find these two pages which seem to suggest that they may be leftovers from an installation program (written in C?) that failed to call 'SetRegistryKey("appname"); in InitInstance.' ?

1that looks like the Korean alphabet, but sometimes fonts hide the identifying characteristics. – Frank Thomas – 2013-05-23T18:34:41.713

AppWizard is used by Microsoft to describe Visual Studio 6.0 (pre .net) MFC applications, so thats one potential option. I'd also look at packagers and installer systems – Frank Thomas – 2013-05-23T20:06:15.063
You can use ProcessMonitor from SysInternals to log all registry access. If you set a filter to this key, then you can check which application(s) access the registry key. – Werner Henze – 2013-05-24T06:43:33.537
@Werner Never knew Processmonitor could do that. Don't know if it helps though because the keys are probably leftovers from an installation (they're empty). – Jan Doggen – 2013-05-24T06:47:11.107
