Trying to clean a friends Comp and have got it clean apart from 1 key in the register but can't delete it. I have tried several progs. including online scanners but although they find it they can't delete it either. It is found as adware.vundo variant. Is there prog or method of forcing its deletion.
 
Thanks for that but I have already used it with no success. It removes it from its list but when I search again it is back in the list.
As you say a good program, I use it regularly.
 
Thanks. Tried your suggestion but didn't find anything. Seem to have removed everything except for this reg key. The only other problem I have is the words 'VIRUS ALERT!' to the right of the clock. The computer is working fine they don't seem to be causing any trouble.
 
try this..

disable system restore
remove whatever av you've got now

run..

ccleaner slim
nod32 av trial
spybot s&d
adaware
avg antispyware (remove this after)

put firefox on with adblock plus and Easylist subscription (do this on your pc too)

shotgun blast approach, but usually works!
 
Amongst others I have already tried=
ccleaner
spybot
adaware
Now tried Nod32, didn't find anything.
Avg antispyware, is now combined with AVG 8 and didn't want to put that on.

But tried Malwarebytes and that found 19 infections and cleared them. It cured the problem with 'virus alert' beside the clock thank goodness. Seems a good program'

Anyway took it back today.
Thanks to all who replied.
