    These seem to be the most accurate instructions regarding this trojan that I have found online. However, I am unable to delete the registry values. I have even gone so far as to attempt to change permissions, but it will not allow me to do that either and I am out of my league at this point. any suggestions on how to delete the registry values and actual files would be a great help. I have already shut dow nthe process, which continues to start up btw, I am just not sure where to go from here.
