I ran Spybot & it detected "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Alnet" - "registry key".but is unable to remove it.
I do not have any IT knowledge, so therefore please help me step by step in laymans terms.
I also get a tool bar which I cannot get rid of. In the "properties" of this toolbar screen, I found "http://img.lop.com/images/toolbarnew/_r1.gif"
Please help me to get rid of this.
Thank you in advance.

To get rid of Altnet:

Go to Start - Run

Type: regedit

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE\SOFTWARE

Expand it and you will then see the Altnet folder.

Right click on the folder - Permissions - Advanced.

Add everyone to full control.

Click OK and exit regedit. DO NOT mess about with anything else or you WILL screw it up.

Update and Run Spybot.


To remove lop:

lop/Toolbar installations normally put a round icon in the system tray, try right-clicking this, choosing 'Menu', then on the resulting window, clicking 'Help', then 'Uninstall'. With newer variants you will have to answer an annoying riddle before it will go away.

lop/Rnd installations do not put the icon in the system tray, but may add an entry to the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs list, which can be used to uninstall in the same way. The name of the uninstall option varies randomly but tend to follow a pattern, eg.:

* Browser Enhance r
* Brows er Enhancer
* Ultimate Browser Enhancer
* Ultimate Browser Enhancer
* L.O P. Un insta11
* L O.P. Un instal1
* Live 0n line Portal
* Live.0nli ne Porta1

lop/Active installations have an additional 'Window Active' entry that should also be removed.
