SOLVED – Cannot Delete Registry Keys Left Behind By Viruses And Spyware Such As Altnet
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altnet\Dashboard
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altnet\Dashboard\Settings
The above registry keys cannot be deleted or removed by any antispyware software. Change permissions on the highest level key first, and then each subkey in succession. Run regedt32.exe and right click on each key and click on Permissions. Then click on the Advanced button. Make sure the first box (Inherit from parent…) is checked. Click OK and OK. When all the permissions have been changed then try deleting each entry again in reverse order, starting with all the subkeys and moving your way up. Once you’re done, close the Registry Editor. If it’s still giving you problems, try deleting them in Safe Mode (or even another user account).
