i have used trend micro but i don`t think altnet is a virus, more spyware

If Spybot S&d Doesn’t remove it, then you’ll have to do it the hard way.
I believe that the info you received from Eddy and me mention the same information. It’s easy enough to compare the lists.
If you still don’t want to do it manually, you may have to purchas one of the commercial products.
I couldn’t get rid of Altnet in the registry until I right clicked on the key and found a way to change permissions.
i.e. “take ownership”, which finally did the trick.
Before that I tried many things including:
Removing Kazza, which is where it came from.
Deleting directories called Altnet. Bullguard.
Deleting other registry keys to
do with Altnet, P2P, Bullguard.
Emptying all temporary directories.
Adaware now runs clean for me.
Hello Omar I had exactly the same problem as you, one of the posts (Putbogey)said that they had changed the permissions and then the key deleted I tried this but it still would not delete. However it was my son that installed kazaa in His own user name so I logged on in his user name and then went into the registry using regedit i searched for Altnet and right clicked on the key and deleted it. I then logged off and logged in using my user name had a look in the registry and at ad gone and its clear using ad aware etc. So if there is more than one user login on your computer then try logging in on one of them and try deleting it there.Surpringly in my user login there was only the one reference to Altnet but in my sons login in the registry there were still many references to Kazaa Altnet etc etc so it seems that you have to delete it from each user login as well. Hope this helps
problem fixed with reg cleaner
Glad to hear this… Which application did you use?
reg cleaner4.3 by jouni vuorio!
reg cleaner4.3 by jouni vuorio!
Omar,
I have the same problem. Where did you download “reg cleaner4.3 by jouni vuorio”? Do yopu have a link?

Welcome to the forum.
That program is not free. Regedit would also do the trick provided you follow the directions outlined in the beginning of this thread. Back up your registry before you start.
