Every time I run MSAS Beta1 it reports finding Altnet, I remove it... but it
keeps coming back. There's a bit of existing discussion about this, so I
tried running MSAS in Safe Mode and the same thing happens. I downloaded
Ewido and SpyBot and tried them in Safe Mode too, but the same thing happens.
I found this link on the web http://www.spywareremove.com/removeAltnet.html
which talks through changing permissions in regedit for a number of folders.
The only 2 folders I can find on my machine are:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Altnet and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Altnet\\Dashboard
The instructions on the web page are:
Right click on Altnet then click on permission, click on add, click on
advanced, click on find now, and look for your log on name and click on okay
twice to get back to permissions for Altnet. Now, put a check mark in the
boxes for allow after click on advanced, click on the tab for owner and
highligt your log under \'change owner to\' and check the box that say\'s :
\'Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here
that apply to child objects\\' and click on ok, click on apply and click ok.
Continue the same for the rest of the folders listed.
This seems to work for the Altnet folder, but every time I try the same
thing for Altnet\Dashboard I get a pop-up 'Cannot open Dashboard Error while
opening key' message. I can still go ahead and right-click on the folder but
there are no permissions for it, even though I added permissions (plus child)
to the Altnet folder.
When I try to add new permissions I get right to the end of the process
only to see a pop-up 'Unable to save permission on dashboad. Access is
denied'.
Any suggestions gratefully received - all I want for Christmas is a clean PC!!
Thanks.
