Spyware removal

[Guest]

I am still having difficulty removing malware from my computer. I currently
have Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta, Ad-aware, and Spybot S&D. I also have
Norton Internet Security 2005. There are some constant malware that cannot be
removed...it seems (i.e. Bargain Buddy) that are found in reg keys. I have
isolated the files in my c:/windows/temp folder, but I can't remove them. I
need some guidance in this matter. Thanks for any help.

If you boot to Safe Mode, you should be able to delete the files.

I forgot to mention that these files will not delete in safe mode. I have
already tried it.

This has worked for me in the past:

It is probable that you need to reboot and then run spybot which will give
you the option to remove them.

Is there any way to manually remove the regkey associated with this
malware....and if so how do I find my RegKeys i.e. what folder? Thanks

If you're not familiar with editing the registry, it may be best to get
a friend who is. (It is straightforward, like editing a word file, but
mistakes can affect the way your machine operates, or even cause it not
to operate.)
