PsGuard Removal Help (Followed all steps in sticky threads)

Hello fellow geeks,

I am trying to clean up a machine that had a few infections. I have run through all the steps prescribed in this thread: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407

The only item coming up in any of the scans shows up in spybot. It is a PSGuard registry key, located at HKLM\Software\ShudderLTD\PSGuard

Spybot cannot fix this problem (I have run in safe mode, rebooted into safemode again, rebooted into normal mode, etc.). I have also tried to manually delete the object, but it says I am unable to delete the registry key. I am logged in as an administrator on this machine, and I have checked permissions to verify that I have Full Control over this object. I have also tried to take ownership of it, but I still cannot delete it.

This is the last piece of malware on this machine, and I would like to get rid of it. Can anyone help me?


Thank you in advance!

 

Thanks...

Here is the logfile...

 

After another Spybot scan, it looks as if my problem is gone. Thank you so much for the help!

 

After following the recommended instructions on the sticky, I now notice a new problem... HSRemove, which was recommended on the sticky has now hijacked my home page! The donation page it takes you to says you can now change the homepage back, but it will not allow me to do so. Any thoughts on this?
