My daughter's computer started out with a zillion and three spyware programs running. I've managed to eliminate most of them. I know Wintools, MsTask and WinMgmt are still on, plus a couple others.

I've run all the fixes endorsed on your site (Ad-Aware, SpyCatcher, Cleanup, SpyBot Search + Destroy) and probably a few others in between.

When I run MicroSoft AntiSpyware, it hangs on the registry key for WInTools. I've tried manually deleting the file by editting the registry, but it won't let me.

So, I'm looking for whatever help is out there.

Thanks!

Please download Trend Micro™ Anti-Spyware for the Web Utility (by clicking the "Scan and Clean your PC" button).
  • Save it to your desktop.
Boot Into Safe Mode
Restart your computer and boot into Safe Mode by hitting the F8 key repeatedly until a menu shows up (and choose Safe Mode from the list). In some systems, this may be the F5 key, so try that if F8 doesn't work.

File/Folder Deletions
Delete the following Files indicated in RED and Folders indicated in BLUE if they still exist.

C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\hosts.bho
C:\keys.ini
C:\Documents and Settings\Eric Acker\Application Data\Lycos
C:\WINNT\inf\biS.inf

Reboot back to normal mode
  • Double-click the TrendMicro icon on your desktop (tmas-web-scan.exe)
  • It will say "Loading TrendMicro definitions".
  • Once the definitions are loaded, the program will appear to close then re-open.
  • Click Start Scan
  • After it's done scanning, click Scan Results
  • Make sure all items found have a check next to them, then click Clean Threats Now.
  • Click Exit.
Reboot your computer. In place of the TrendMicro icon will be a text file called Antispyware.log, please double-click that log and copy the entire contents and paste them here.

ok, i dont know what went wrong there :| but anywho

Perform an online scan with Internet Explorer with

Kaspersky WebScanner

Next Click on Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
  • The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
  • Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
  • Now click on Scan Settings
  • In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
    • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
    Standard
    • Scan Options:
    Scan Archives
    Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK
  • Now under select a target to scan:Select My Computer
  • This will program will start and scan your system.
  • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
  • Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
    • Now click on the Save as Text button:
  • Save the file to your desktop.
  • Copy and paste that information in your next post.
Take note the names and locations of any file it detects but fails to clean.

* Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan

I don't know if it's good news or bad news, but the Kaspersky scan came up clean.
However, MicroSoft Antiaspyware still detects WinTools, and it hangs when it gets to registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WinTools

It won't let me delete that key through regedit.

The Kaspersky scan text file follows.

Thanks for the help!

When I open regedit and try to delete that particular key, (righ-click on the key), I get a dialogue box that says: "Error Deleting Key. Cannot Delete WinTools: Error While Deleting Key".

I ran Spybot tonight, and it found Huntbar and could not delete it. I tried their suggestion ("Can we run Spybot when you next boot up?") but that didn't solve it either. I tried running it in Safe Mode and still no luck.

Under Task Manager, I have MsTask and WinMgmt as processes I can't end by right-clicking and selecting "End Process" ("UNable to terminate process. Access is Denied.")

AdAware and Trend Micro Anti-Spyware showed up clean.

MicroSoft Anti-Spyware still hangs when it gets to the WinTools registry key in the HKEY_Local_Machine folder.

Thanks for your patience in working with me. I don't know what else to try.

I think we're getting closer. The solution listed on your link was at www.pche!!.com, but I had already tried that and it didn't work. However, the idea of taking ownership of the registry key seemed like a possibility. On my computer (Window XP Professional), I can open regedit, find a registry key, right click on it, and there is the menu pick for "Permissions". From there, I can find where the other person was able to change the ownership of that key and then delete it. However, on my daughter's computer (Windows 2000 Pro), the one with the problem registry key, right-clicking on it doesn't have a "Permissions" choice.

So, how do I do that in Window 2000 Pro?

Thanks,
