Hello.

I just got done ridding my computer of an onslaught of spyware and worms and
various trojans. I've gotten all of the infected files out of the registry...
all except one. Whenever I try to delete it, I get an error message saying I
cant. Can anyone help me out? Thanks ^_^

With that many worms you may want to consider rebuilding your operating
system from scratch being sure to backup your data, address book, favorites,
configuration info, etc first and taking steps to prevent future problems.
Having said that you could try booting into Safe mode and also checking the
permission the registry key to make sure you have full control permission.
If you can not change the permission then you may need to take ownership of
the key first as an administrator in properties/permissions -
advanced-owner. You use regedit to open the registry. If you are unsure of
the location of the key you can search using the edit menu and selecting
find. --- Steve

You should keep out of the registry since you understand little about it
(e.g. there are no files in the registry). Leave the malware removal to your
anti-malware software or the technical support for your anti-malware
software. Otherwise, you're just asking for trouble.
