autosc Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I have two questions : After running the command REGEDIT /E c:\reg.txt and after studying the reg.txt i found that trace of uninstalled programs remain in the Registry : with a biginning like this ..... [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall The first question is : Can i easy remove them competely with all references of the uninstalled program with autoscript ? I am using XOFYSPY to scan spyware and getting the following typical results : vendor = Randomly Namd Trojan Type = File Category = Malware Object = c:\windows\ipta32.exe Danger = Threat Most of the time the progam refers to an exe file as tröjan and so on ..... as my understanding these files are planted to my computer while i am surfing the web ..... what happens if i remove thse files ? i am not sure if thes files are tröjans or infected windows files .

Confuzzled Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Malware authors use different techniques. Some do not even go near the registry.No offense intended: From the depth of your technical questioning, I would doubt that you would have the skills to identify and remove badware. Why not try AVG (free) and AdAware SE personal edition (free) and Spybot - Search & Destroy (free) as your suite of tools to protect you from harm? These people do it all day, every day, and can spot a nasty at ten paces. They are reputable, free, and have frequent updates. They seem to cover most bases.Why re-invent the wheel?
