comet cursor

[Brian Root]

My Adaware keeps picking up a registry key called Comet Cursor. However when
I try to delete this Comet program from the computer it will not allow me to
do so. Can anyone tell me what a registry key is? Is this a threat to my
internet security? And, how do I delete this thing? Thanks for your help.

For spyware:
SpybotSD - Search & Destroy by PepiMK Software:

use search to find everything COMET and delete there.

try sending nice email to comet and ask how to remove.
they sent message with detailed instructions.

Greetings --

To deal with issues caused by any sort of "adware" and/or
"spyware,"such as Gator, Comet Cursors, Xupiter, Bonzai Buddy, or
KaZaA, and their remnants, that you've deliberately (but without
understanding the consequences) installed, two products that are
quite effective (at finding and removing this type of scumware) are
Ad-Aware from www.lavasoft.de and SpyBot Search & Destroy from
http://security.kolla.de/. Both have free versions. It's even
possible to use SpyBot Search & Destroy to "immunize" your system
against most future intrusions. I use both and generally perform
manual scans every week or so to clean out cookies, etc.

Additionally, manual removal instructions for the most common
varieties of scumware are available here:
