McLaren_F1 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Altnet DescriptionAltnet may launch targeted advertisements, and may track your web browsing habits and report your personal information to a central ad server.

Altnet Removal Instructions Before you delete it, it must have it permission changed: Open the registry (Start->Run->regedit) and select the keys [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Altnet] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Altnet\\Dashboard] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\App Management\\ARPCache\\AltnetDM] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs] \"C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Altnet\msvcirt.dll\"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-14627781-1401277002-153983898-1006\Software\Microsoft\\Search Assistant\ACMru\5603] \"000\"=\"altnet\" [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-14627781-1401277002-153983898-1006\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\MenuOrder\\Start Menu2\Programs\Altnet] Start with the top folder which is Altnet and work down and follow these instruction to change the permission for all folders.
