Ok so i purchased VMWARE thinapp and it creates a snapshot and scans the registry. It warned me about: Cannot delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ovfsthpjcpsqywmtuetoqmflwbaueoithckcff so i went in and i tried deleting it and it wouldnt allow me to it kept saying that i just couldnt delete like some type of access denied or lack of permission or one of those things. Maybe a vista thing, but im not sure if it happens to XP also (im using vista). I also tried changing the permissions of the folder to full permissions and it allowed me for one of the folders, but the other 2 folders (main, tasks) it didnt allow me to. after doing a little bit of googling with VERY, VERY LITTLE results i confirmed that its a trace of a virus that i once had, or maybe still have (maybe its inactive) ive used both Avast and Malwarebyte to remove it and I also downloaded GMER and it found allllllll the traces of left over things in the registry that this virus left. However GMER doesnt do anything other than find them and confirm suspicion. Can anyone suggest what a should do?!
