This was checked against a virus checker and came out clean.
However, my big problem remains, adaware keeps finding "altnet"
I went into the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: software\altnet
i tried to delete the yellow altnet folder but it said "error while deleting key".
I have tried alternative spy ware programmes, like spy bot (didn`t pick up altnet). I also have used a free trial of "spy sweeper" (found altnet but couldn`t remove it)and "giant anti spyware" (didn`t fix the problem).
I am desperate for help.
