Registry Entry Won't Stay Deleted

K

While ago, uninstalled Webroot's SpySweeper and manually
deleted all entries in registry that Add/Remove didn't for this
program. However, one entry under HKEY_Local Machine >
Software >Webroot>SpySweeper keeps reappearing after
reboot no matter how many times I delete it.

Any way to get of rid of this entry permanently?

Was it a Trial version? You might look for a C-Dilla file, sometimes used as
a sort of "timer" for the trial period.

If you have not already done so, you might want to download
and install hijackthis and snoop through what it finds. Sounds
like something is still getting run at startup. Be very suspicious
of any key/setting anywhere that points to some sort of
"temp" directory.
