Windows Forum / Windows XP / Security and Administration / January 2005Spyware removal
I am still having difficulty removing malware from my computer. I currently have Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta, Ad-aware, and Spybot S&D. I also have Norton Internet Security 2005. There are some constant malware that cannot be removed...it seems (i.e. Bargain Buddy) that are found in reg keys. I have isolated the files in my c:/windows/temp folder, but I can't remove them. I need some guidance in this matter. Thanks for any help. > I am still having difficulty removing malware from my computer. I currently > have Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta, Ad-aware, and Spybot S&D.

If you boot to Safe Mode, you should be able to delete the files.

This has worked for me in the past: http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/BargainBuddy.html Bruce Is there any way to manually remove the regkey associated with this malware....and if so how do I find my RegKeys i.e. what folder?

(It is straightforward, like editing a word file, but mistakes can affect the way your machine operates, or even cause it not to operate.) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756 http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/Regedit.htm It is probable that you need to reboot and then run spybot which will give you the option to remove them. >I am still having difficulty removing malware from my computer.
