Spybot Search and Destroy? This application is /not/ "plug 'n play". RTFM
and FAQ before doing anything
(http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=faq), and create a backup
before letting Spybot "fix" things.

You have to remove them from the registry in order for Spyhunter to be
effective.

You must still RTFM and the FAQ
(http://www.enigmasoftwaregroup.com/support/). The rest of the URLs posted
earlier will still be useful for you.

I'm sure that spyhunter places removed registry entry's
in a backup folder and can be restored if needed.
PA Bear has a valid point, try reading the help files for
spyhunter.
