  1. Hello can any one tell me how to rid my computer of Adtomi.I run adawre it always finds it,i use the function to delete it,but on all future scans it is always back.I understand now there is no unistaller availiable for Adtomi.
    My question now how do i get into the registry to remove this and will there be any trouble removing the reg key?

    Do you have system restore turned on or off?

    If it is on than that is why it keeps coming back.

  6. To go to the registry, click Start, Run, type Regedit, OK
    Hightlight My Computer, Edit, Find, type Adtomi
    Every time you find an occurrence of Adtomi, delete it until you see the message like regedit has finished searching the registry.
    Then, do a search for the key a78860c8-ee1a-46df-a97f-e3e6d433e80b
    Edit, Find a78860c8-ee1a-46df-a97f-e3e6d433e80b
    Delete every occurrence of it.
    Close regedit.
    People are scared of the registry, but if you do it correctly, it's as safe as clipping a toe nail.

    Next, start Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, General
    Choose Delete Cookies, Delete Files and Clear History
    Malware are very sneaky, search google for Spysweeper, let it search your HD for malware and destroy them.
    Good luck.
