    I have tried to remove the Vista spyware from the registry and it can\'t be removed. A message comes up saying the action is being denied and I can\'t get my malware scanner and remover to work. I\'m not sure what to do any more and am ready to throw in the towel on this laptop. If anyone as any last ditch advise that would be wonderful.
