The virus/spyware/malware referred to in the subject line
of this message seems to be hiding in the registry of two
machines in my office. Neither your beta spyware killer
nor Spybot seems to be able to get rid of it permanently.

There are 19 instances of this IST item showing up in the
quarantine of your spyware killer, but I cannot permantly
delete it.

It is hidinjg at HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\IST and
also at HKEY_USER\.DEFAULT\Software\IST.

Is there a safe way for me to get into the registry to
get rid of it?
 
Best recommendation then would be torestart in safe mode and do a deep
scan. On the Scan Page choose Scan Options > Full System Scan. Do this at
least two times until detects something. Also, before you restart in safe
mode, disable System Restore, some trojans and spyware programs are likely
to restore themselves with system snap shots:

Right click My Computer > Properties > System Restore, check the "Disable
System Restore" check box and restart in safe mode.

Restart in safe mode instructions:

Remember, this is still beta and cannot be judged as a finished shipping
product. I also recommend using additional AntiSpyware utilities in tandem
with Microsoft AntiSpyware, also use your Antivirus solution to do a
thorough scan in safe mode also and ensure that it fully up to date.

Remember, MSAS is beta.
