Both Subject baddies keep returning to my registry after I delete them there.
CU\Soft\MS\Search Asst\ACMRU\5603

Need to permantly remove from computer (of course!).
Have search entire Reg and HD and SYS but cannot find the little toy that is "renewing" them. Appreciate your help.moi

Howdy,

Try an online scan like this one:

http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/

let it autoclean. Reboot, scan your system with your AV, if it is clean - great, if the problem still exists on your system please do this.

Download "Hijack This!", if you don't already have it.
Save it in a permanent folder such as C:\HJT\, double click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log, Ctrl-A to Select All, and post your log in the

Hijackthis - Spyware, Viruses, Worms, Trojans Oh My! Forum.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

When you post in the other forum please explain your problem again in detail so that the experts in the HJT forum will have the complete picture. Someone will be along to help you, but please be patient as the experts are very busy as of late!!

If you start a new thread in Hijackthis - Spyware, Viruses, Worms, Trojans Oh My!, please post back here to let me know so that we can close this thread.

Would it work to do a full AVPE scan in safemode?

Worth a try?
