I'd think MoveonBoot is for FILES, not for registry-keys, but I might be wrong..

Just a quick look at the website of that util would have told you:
Quote
Copies, moves or deletes files and folders on the next system boot. The utility is very useful when the user needs to replace or delete files which are locked by other applications, loaded into the memory or just cannot be changed until next system boot.

I downloaded the programme last night. You are asked to submit a file. I put in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: software\altnet

but it said "invalid file name"

I accept that this is not a file but a reg key, if you can delete reg keys I would like to know.

That is indeed a registry key. You can edit the registry with regedit.
start > run > regedit

But be carfull not to delete the wrong thing!

Create a backup from the registry first, before changing anything there.
start > run > regedit > click on "my computer" there > file > export
It can take several minutes before the backup is created.

Well I'm still not sure have you carefully followed all those instructions Omar, I gave you link for...

Here is another shot:

You must follow instructions precisely.

First erase all those mentioned DIRECTORIES

And at the end, delete following registry values:

AltnetPointsManager

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU "PLAY" WITH REGISRY KEYS !!! Never-ever-never erase anything that is not listed in some instructions on how to remove some spyware or similar pests... If you are not so comfortable editing it, it's better if you let someone do that for you... someone who is more comfortable...

it won`t let me delete that reg key, it says "error when deleting key".

the only permissions, it allows me to choose for administrator are:

1)Full control
2) read

I cannot tick "special permissions" it won`t let me, the box is, sort of faded!

Choose "full control" for the present user. If you can't do that due to restrictions, login as Administrator and do it from that account.

Try to do it from the recovery console from the command line.

Hi Omar,

a) forget about MoveonBoot
b) if you know how to get to the command-line of the recoveryConsole, and really know what you're doing there, and have recent backups AND your XP-CD AND driver- & program-installation files/CDs AND are not averse to totally setting up your machine from scratch (OR have a recent IMAGE)  AND.. AND..
then try typing there at the prompt:

reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Altnet" /v /f  [ENTER]
  or
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altnet" /v /f [ENTER]
(like it says in eddy's link)

b) Otherwise:
- ignore it, if your PC works ok, and AV/Spyware-Scanner don't find any other malicious regKeys/files  or
- reread your Threads and follow all advice & use all offered tools.. or
- try to delete the Altnet-regkey by removing altnet software entries via a regCleaner or
- use Avast's BART-CD to edit the registry (see avast homepage; most of the reservations from b) still apply)

 ;)
