Stro;
Export the key(s) and edit those.
What's the spyware?? Have you tried HijackThis?
ERUNT & NTREGOPT are excellent.
2) SpywareBlaster
SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever
being installed.
The most important step you can take is to secure your system. And
SpywareBlaster is the most powerful protection program available.
