Spyware Windows DSO Exploit hkey registry

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

I have not dealt with that particular problem. I suggest that you make sure you are
logged on as an administrator and try removal again. If you still have insufficient
permissions, as an administrator you can always give yourself full permissions to an
object in it's properties/security. If you can not you need to take ownership first
by going into properties/security/advanced/ownership where you can select the
administrators group to be new owners. Sometimes booting into safe mode will also
work when trying to resolve such issues. If none of that helps try searching
http://Google.com web AND groups for "lop.com removal. Also try CWShredder first and
then your other programs. The links below may be helpful. --- Steve
