Where Web3000 uninstaller?
I have run Ad-Aware and deleted 16 of 17 spyware items. The remaining item is Web3000 which shows up as 2 registry keys; "Web3000 stashedgef" and "Web3000 stashedgmg". Ad-Watch shows an active "Warning! Web3000 modified key: HKey_Local_Machine\software\windows\current version:". I have not found any files or other entries for Web3000. Lavasoft FAQ indicates that if Web3000 has replaced WSock32.dll a warning message will appear and the Web3000 uninstaller should be used. I have not seen a warning message and have not found the uninstaller. The Web3000 web site indicates that Web3000 is removed automatically when the last of their ad partners is removed. I have no ads left. I am a newbie and do not understand the registry.
Should I worry? How do I get rid of Web3000? Any suggestions please. Thanks, jim

If you do get some courage to do the editing make sure you back up first (that is one reason why ME is good) so you have the ability to go back if you have to. If you want you should look into a program called "regcleaner" (not "regclean"). It makes deleting and cleanup of the registry easy and is free. Just go to a search engine and you will find download sites.
Good luck.
