Apropos is Very Resilient

Whatever I run, AntiSpyware included, the registry keys
under HKLM/Software/aprps always reappear within 10
seconds of removal (whether by a tool or manually). Does
anyone know what process might be running which I, and
AntiSpyware, cannot find??? (I have spent the best part
of a day trying to track it down!)

[The annoyance is that I still get pop-ups every minute or
so in IE]

Try Ewido and Ccleaner , There is probably files in temp
folders as a backup incase you delete the main files and
using Ewido & Cceaner will clear these

download, install and update the free version of
Ewido trojan scanner:

http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

When installing, under "Additional Options"
uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via
context menu".

From the main ewido screen, click on update in the left
menu, then click the Start update button.
After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom
will display "Update successful").

Exit Ewido DO NOT SCAN yet


Please download CCleaner,

http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp

Install it but do not run it yet.



Boot into safe mode:

Restart your computer and as soon as it starts booting up
again start tappin the F8 key.

A menu should come up where you will be given the option
to enter Safe Mode.

Run ewido, click on the Scanner button in the left menu,
then click on the Complete scan.

If ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification.
You can select "Remove" and check the boxes "Perform
action with all infections" and "Create encrypted backup"
before clicking on OK.

When the scan finishes, there will be some options at the
bottom of the screen, click on "Save Report". This will
create a text file, save that to your desktop incase we
need it later

Run MS Antispy on a full scan and remove anything found

Run Ccleaner and press "Run Cleaner"

Reboot back to Normal mode.


Let us know if you need any more help with this
