Registry Changes I Can't Stop!

Futurhythm · May 31, 2005

For the last few hours I have been trying to remove a very nasty piece of spyware/malware from my computer called bigtrafficnetwork or something like that. It adds green link ads to various pages and also replaces the Server Cannot be Found page with is own.

After following many different faqs on the net, I've managed to stop the green ads and the redirecting and gotten rid of all the spyware, etc. Adaware and Spybot can find.

However, everytime I reboot and log back online the same registry keys and files keep reappearing on my computer even if I have deleted them before. According to Adaware, the problems are TVMedia (regvalue), Possible Browser Hijack attempt (regdata), Tracking Cookie (IECache) and something to do with MRU list. My Spybot Resident also keeps detecting changes to my registry.

I have no idea how to get rid of these problems and it's 1AM over here and I want to sleep! Please I beg of you, help.
