said by op  :Well I did a manual find of the viruses, and I found all the files in the regedit file. The question is can I go and delete all those files in the regedit or will that screw up my system? Follow amysheehan 's advice above before you go deleting anything from the registry.

I ran spyhunter on my pc and it detected all the trojans and adware. The problem is that I need to register it and wanted to know is there a program out there that is free and still kills all the antivirus program? BTW I have 2 viruses called zlob trojan and trojan.zapchast and rogue.antivirus 2009 cause now I have all these links to porn sites. You should begin with the steps outlined here for Cleanup

using superantispyware then malwarebytes will generally get it , used to be superantispyware would do it but the newer infections seem to be worse having extra stuff with it. |

lotusracer is right, I used this to clean up a co worker's machine. Worked great ! spybot(which I love) did not find anything on this one. |

Just did a scan of SUPERantispyware and all it found was just adware and not the trojans that were suppose to be detected. |
