    Amit,

    if you select start->run and type in regedit and press ok registry should be open. You will be able to browse it like a windows explorer. Also, what files are you trying to delete manually?

    go through each .exe file in your hijack this log and google it to find if it's spyware

    you can also download xraypc and use the online analyser which tells you good bad etc

    Have you looked in add/remove programes? as spyware could install itself and could be hiding in there and once rebooted it will reappear, just remove what could be spyware and if in doubt google it first.

    Hey Amit,

    I think you are not giving me the right ones here. Are you sure there's only one entry in both these sections? Typically, with so many programs installed on your pc, you should be looking at atleast 15-20 entries combined. I need to see all entries below default too.
