Re: Handyperson's guide to removal of SONY ROOTKIT Was about to call it a night, but let's go back here for a second. ANY "control set" that is logged into will cause the fuzza to go copy itself to the OTHERS ... Our OWN answer to nasties of course, is the "current" ... however, the other "controlsets" will bear the mark of satan. 
I was more concerned about the "I'm in here cleaning, let's get rid of it ALL" and if I see ANY of it, I'll complain. Heh. While you're correct, I was thinking more of the tin-foil brigade. I'm also one of those "it ain't running, it can't run, it cannot be a threat anymore even if some scanner finds the entrails and does that "kitty with a mouse butt, it's a PRESENT! LOVE me!" thingy. Heh. But generally, folks want it GONE and seemingly prefer (so I see here) to go through all sorts of rituals to "make it gone." I'm merely trying to honor the apparent "rituals." 
So yeah, a bit anal, but the procedure I self-tortured over does work the best for most people. And after you do the first one, it's like ... "been there, done that, know this" and folks feel better. But considered what the "norms" are for "gotta futz registry, w00t!" and went for it. (grin)
But like I said, if I didn't wear FULL METAL HELMET, there'd be folks wanging that I'm an asshat and don't know what I'm talking about should I suggest not to do *every* registry entry there might be. Again, "expected" ritual honors to the ghods of registry items lost. Heh. There's always a price on "free advice" and it tends to be charged to the giver. Moo.
