i just installed the beta microsoft anti spyware. it did
identify altnet as a spyware, and said that it deleted
it, but it's still there when i do another scan. how do
i get rid of it.

Hi

Try this:

- Download/Install CCleaner, www.ccleaner.com

- Download/Install Lavasofts Adaware

http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022-10319876.html?tag=list

* Also watch the video from Cnet about Adware within page
for best result.*

- Download Winsockfix, just a precaution if you loose your LSP.

- Restart in *safe mode*, press F8 during reboot

- Run CCcleaner and remove all temporarily junk.

- Run Adaware, fullscan

- Run MSAS, fullscan

- Restart

wont remove it either. Apparently there is a manual fix
but you have to modify your registry manually and I am
not comfortable doing that.

Did you try running them all in Safe Mode?
