I have an entry that keeps coming back. I've tried to remove it, in the safe mode, which I can delete it but it still comes back. The registry key is in:
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce.
The string is C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad Aware\Remove.exe. I've deleted this entry so many times I'm just so confussed, and am not sure what else to do. I've even posted at Lavasoft and they say it's nothing to do with their software. I get a message when I start up the pc, saying that windows is unable to find, C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad Aware\Remove.exe. So, when I delete it it will work the next time I reboot, but then it's back again, when I go into the registry. Please help, cause I'm just so confussed, and wish I didn't have this error.
 
Thank you for your reply, but after I posted my issue, I have finally found that it's no longer on my pc. I had Windows XP Pro with SP 2, so I decided that I would update to SP 3. I have done this, and now my pc is problem free. I do thank you for your post and I will remember it for others whom have a similar issue such as I had, so that, they may try your solution. But, I also feel that Spybot with all the whistles is the one I choose to use. So, now I have a pc that runs and feels like a Cadillac. It's so nice to have this feeling back. Thank you all the same.
