Then remove the Regedit restriction and any others as needed. Download, unzip and run CoolWebShredder. Follow-up by installing and running SpyBot (direct download link for SpyBot).

Copy & paste the red text below into Notepad. Then save it to your desktop as PATCH.REG Double-click the PATCH.REG file. You will receive the following message: Are you sure you want to add the information (in drive: location file was copied to\file name.reg) to the registry? Click Yes, and then click OK.
