Hi,

Try this: Right click the registry key of the offending key (Altnet) then
select "Permissions". In the "Advance Tab", select your User Account name
then check the box to replace owner. Click OK. Next, in the "Security"
tab, select your User Account name then select the box for full control.
Click OK. Try deleting the offending keys now and it should be gone.

Note: Prior doing the above, please back-up your registry.

Regards,

Does anyone know how to remove the Altnet spyware?
I've tried to use Ad-A-Ware and Spybot and it shows that it found it but it
doesn't remove it.
I've tried going in safe mode and run these programs but get the same 
results.
When I go in Regedit to remove Altnet and subfolders it says Access Denied.
Thanks for any help.
