View Full Version : Registry Key

Hello everybody. Sorry but I'm new at this, so here we go.
I used Spybot - Search & Destroy to scan my computer and it found:
HuntBar and Connect MFC Application.
It said: Registry key, fixing failed.
Can I go into the registry key and remove everything that is associated with both of these?
Thank you, BM. ;D

you might want to try scanning your pc with bazooka. (http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/index.html?source=appupdate) it is free and really fast. it doesn't remove spyware, but lets you know what infections you have and gives step-by-step instructions for manual removal. for example: you can check out this page for manual removal of huntbar (http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/library/huntbar/index.phtml) . however, i wouldn't recommend just going in and deleting anything until you've done a scan with the bazooka scanner.
by the way Connect MFC Application may be a false positive. so a 2nd scan with another program might help determine this.

Thanks to both of you.
I scanned with bazooka and it didn't find anything.
Should I still go and use the huntbar manual remover?
Has anybody else used this and is it safe and did it work?
Thank you, BM ;D

If there are really huntbar entries in your registry, and other evidence for the existence of huntbar on your machine, I advice you to remove manual everything that is related to huntbar.
Such a manual removal is safe, if you follow exact the removal instructions.
