I recently got hit by the infamous WINHOUND. I managed to get back my desktop and I think I cleaned most of it out of my machine. However I still have an entry in the HKLM key: HKLM\Software\WinHound.com.\WinHound\WinHound\License. On trying to delete these items I get the "Cannot delete..." message along with "Error while deleing key." The problem seems to be the end item, "License." I have checked the permissions and the License arrived with an owner who has given himself "special permissions" and I am not able to change this or give myself "special permissions" authority. Suggested solutions? I am concerned that this malware may in fact still be alive on my machine and want to get it out of my registry. I have tried to fix this from Safemode, including command line. I am stumped. Help please! Thanks for expert advice.
