Okay,
1) I've got Norton, Ad-Aware SE Personal, Trojan Remover and NoAdware. All of these detect different viruses/spyware, and still isn't enough I guess.
2) NoAdware is good, it detected an ISTbar/Powerscan parasite (with a 'Severe' level of danger) and is located in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes...{in TypeLib, Interface and clsid}
Since I haven't registered the product it can't clean it out itself so I wanted to know if I could just go to regedit and delete these RegKeys myself as they don't seem to contain any value.
For instance, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\{1BCD446E-7095-11D0-9C4E-00AA00BDD685} has subfolders: 1.0, 0, win32, FLAGS & HELDIR.
Will it be a big difference if its all deleted, even tho it's infected and not detected by Norton? Is there a better way to clean it instead of deleting?
Thanks.

hello stingrae;;;
i cannot stress any more how dangerous it is to mess with the registry its not for the faint hearted, just make sure you know exactly which registry key your going to delete..alot of these anti spyware programs
are spyware your head will go nuts using that many spyware programs, no mater how many spyware programs you have they will always find a different bug.......try this;
click start run regedit,hkey current user,
software,microsoft,windows,current version,
internet settings,p3p,history,i hope you have a lot of time on your hands, remove everything or should i say rubbish from the
HISTORY file,you can also right click the history file and delete it in one go i have got no problem from doing this on win 98 or win me. it will create itself after a startup, but it will be clean. dont delete p3p just history you will probably get a shock when you see the amount of s**t in there.
best wishes

Good gosh, man... I would hold off and wait for someone with experiences with registry editing to guide you....
Don't muck up the registry if you're not too sure what you are deleting.
Sorry I can't be of any help, as I don't know anything about it neither. I'd wait for some more responses first, stingrae..
Take care, and good luck!~Tommyo
