Default Strange File in Windows registry that come back

Hello

Here the problem i notice when i was scanning using a spy
ware program i had some files in my registry that were

when i open the regisrty using regedit i open the main
ones and go to software/microsoft/internetexplorer/titles
and in that file are all these porn words they are also
showing up in interexplorer/keywords/ when i delete the
files they dissapear just like if i deleted a file, yet if
i close out the registry and go back in all the files are
there again. next to the word it list a website which is
flameporn or something to that effect. i ask my son and he
