I've got the irritating spayware
perfectnav in my machine and for the life of me I can't get rid of it. I've tried Adaware which was absolutely useless and Spywareblaster was equally pants. I must have picked it up from Kazaa (should have known better) which I've now uninstalled. I did a google and came up with...

Start the registry editor. This is done by clicking Start then Run. (The Run dialog will appear.)
Type regedit and click OK. (The registry editor will open.)
Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \ Classes \ CLSID \ {A045DC85-FC44-45be-8A50-E4F9C62C9A84}', if it exists.
Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer\Browser Helper Objects \ {A045DC85-FC44-45be-8A50-E4F9C62C9A84}', if it exists.
Exit the registry editor.
Restart your computer.
Start Windows Explorer and delete: %ProgramsDir%\PerfectNav\
Note: %ProgramsDir% is a variable (?). By default, this is C:\Program Files.
Start Microsoft Internet Explorer.
In Internet Explorer, click Tools -> Internet Options.
Click the Programs tab -> Reset Web Settings.

The only problem is, the 2 reg entries I'm told to delete aren't there. When I try to delete the file I'm told it's in use and can't be removed. Short of reformatting, can anyone else suggest anything?
