I'd try it just as you are.
If that won't do it, try again in "safe mode".
If that won't do it, we'll most like have to take the measures I alluded to.

Altnet removal and advice
18 min read
Dahnkster
nope did not do it. i'll try again in safe mode but, not sure. there are still obvious conflicts in registry editor. I am totally perplexed as this Altnet file that appears in registry as software cannot just be "Deleted" from registry altogether as there is now an emptyh folder with no subfolders. "Dashboard" subfolder is now thankfully gone. But still the obvious permission conflicts now with 9 different names/permissions/ that affect this key and other subkeys.

Try it in "safe mode" and let me know.
Don't hold your breath after posting… I'll have to dig the log up.

no i tried it in the safe mode as well. Still unable to remove from registry. Also it is looking like there must be some conflicts in my registry or else I have even bigger problems. When I was in SAFE MODE just now. My keyboard was not functioning at all. Lukily, all the commands for opening fixme.reg were with mouse. Keyboard is working fine in regular mode , but cannot tye charachters, change cap or number locks, or even CTRL DEL when I'm in the safe mode. I got an email from someone that suggested this:
"First of all install software for each user account and run it for each
user
account separately. If problem persists go to following steps.
AltNet has some issues that even using the Administrator Account, you
can
not delete some registry entries created by this spyware trying either
manually or using a software. In both cases the problem is that AltNet
generates these keys on MULTI LOGIN systems with access to other users
of
same Operating System. The only solution to this problem is the you
will
have to log in with different LOGIN ACCOUNTS in windows one by one and
then
manually try to remove these two or three registry entries.
In case you do not know how to remove registry entries manually, try to
install ScanSpyware using each login and then run scan and remove
spyware
found. This may help but is not guaranteed because you will be using
limited
access for that account, while running ScanSpyware.
Here are the Altnet Removal Instructions. Please follow step by step
and you
should be logged in Administrator account during whole process.
It is divided in two parts:
1. Change the registry permissions
2. Run Scanspyware and delete the infections
1.Changing Registry Permissions
Open the registry (Start->Run->regedit) and select the keys
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Altnet]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altnet\Dashboard]
Start with the top registry Key which is Altnet and work down and
follow
these instruction to change the permission for above registry Keys.
Right click on Altnet then click on permission, click on add, click on
advanced, click on find , and look for your log on name and click on
okay
twice to get back to permissions for Altnet. Now, put a check mark in
the
boxes for allow after click on advanced, click on the tab for owner and
highligt your log under \'change owner to\' and check the box that
say\'s :
\'Replace owner on subcontainers and objects with entries shown here
that
apply to child objects\' and click on ok, click on apply and click ok.
Continue the same for the other registry Keys listed as Dashboard.
2.Run ScanSpyware and delete the infections
Run ScanSpyware and delete the infections as usual."
What do you think about that Micah? Do you also think that registry conflicts could be affecting my ability to type in safe mode? or am I just getting bonkers after 16 or 17 hours trying to resolve this weirdness.
// that's a rhetorical question on the bonkers part

I removed spsweper and spyware blaster after I downloaded ewido scanner. I still have my mcafee running and there is also a copy of spybot on my desktop. I tried to dele other spyware scanners because of possible conflict. The email suggestions I received, was of no use as I still am having trouble setting permissions in my registry editor. Is quite possible that some conflicts are present because of changes made to registry by all the different scanning programs I have run over the last couple days.

I removed spsweper and spyware blaster after I downloaded ewido scanner. I still have my mcafee running and there is also a copy of spybot on my desktop. I tried to dele other spyware scanners because of possible conflict. The email suggestions I received, was of no use as I still am having trouble setting permissions in my registry editor. Is quite possible that some conflicts are present because of changes made to registry by all the different scanning programs I have run over the last couple days.

I'll dig up the thread, and post when I have the info gathered for you.
Dahnkster
also keyboard still not working in safe mode and I cannot understand why I'm having trouble editing permissions.

I have to believe the following mentioned in the emailed repair suggestion above may have something to do with this:
"AltNet has some issues that even using the Administrator Account, you
cannot delete some registry entries created by this spyware trying either
manually or using a software. In both cases the problem is that AltNet
generates these keys on MULTI LOGIN systems with access to other users
of
same Operating System" I am thinking that backing up and reloading may soon be my only option, but I know that reloading CD burning programs and generation keys/codes, video cam, and internet downloaded programs I have gotten in the past are sure to suffer if I reload my operating system.
This will be a double dilly of a pickle if I can't backup my current System State due to the fact that I have all the registry conflicts.

In case you're interested….
============================
Make a folder on your machine and download:
RegDACL
Click the "Download Freeware version as small zip file" link, and download the zip file into that folder.
Unzip it in that folder.
Copy the text in the following quote box into Notepad:
Save it as checkme.bat, and save it into the RegDACL folder.
CLOSE NOTEPAD!!!
Now, the checkme.bat file.
A Notepad window will open up.
Paste it's contents into your next post.

I'd say you're running it from a ZIP file.
Sounds like it's not properly "unzipped" to me.
