have you looked at pestpatrol's manual removal instructions?

Yes, unfortunately, I cannot delete the keys from the registry and the dll it refers to is not there to unload. I also canot delete the files. Of the keys to delete, only one is there. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\btiein
I cannot delete the key, however I have "zeroed out" the key. I'm not sure how useful that is, but that's the only thing I've been able to do.

So to summarize, I've tried deleting the keys and deleting the files, from command prompt only and from safe mode and have been unable to manually remove this. None of the scanners have been able to remove it either.

Any ideas?

Did you Unregister the programfilesdir+\sep\sep.dll suggested first?

looks like you have the variant, try these removal instructions

Please post the standard hijack this log.

the last post on this page may be the answer you have to take ownership of the key, or set permissions to allow you to manipulate it.

That looks very promising. I'll try that as soon as I get home.

I'll let you know the results.

Noo - maybe you should change the subject line of the sticky for this thread to something big and catchy such as IMPORTANT - READ FIRST BEFORE POSTING ABOUT SPYWARE, as a lot of posts are being posted before any checks made at all.

The spyware thread seems to be very popular at the moment - it certainly reflects the quantity of calls im making, as at least half are now spyware related.
Bloody internet, bah - who needs it!

Good idea ADS_tech, but the reason they don't find the sticky thread is that they google for their answers, if they hit on someone who complains of the exact problem, they will use that thread.

Can't blame them, and I certainly don't want to get all anal about using the search first as so many other boards do. Yeah it is annoying that so many people don't know how to read instructions, but lets face it, we are here to solve problems, not allocate blame.
