I have found reference to "PereSvc" in the registry after running a
"cleaner" in "safe" mode. When I attempt to delete any part of this
entry it point blank refuses to go.

What makes you think that there is a "Bug" in the registry? This is
simply a permissions issue, by default only the System account has full
permission on any of the Enum keys in any of the control sets, other
users only have "Read" permission.

PereSvc.exe has been appearing frequently & shows up as a trojan etc.
When I thought I had gotten rid of it, by various methods it
reappears. On looking through the registry I found this line. Nothing
else claims this so I want rid of it. It won't go. Perhaps you could
tell me if "Legal_Peresvc" is a genuine Windows object with
PereSvc.exe masquerading as the genuine article? Thanks for your
reply.

The UnHackMe is a real program, no spyware or phish and works great and is
easy to use. Enjoy!

UnHackMe has demonstrated its protective power and gives me great peace of
mind. Thank you for this excellent program and keep up the superb work!

Chris

I would like to say that RegRun has helped me on more than 1 occasion when
it comes to spyware/adware by letting me know automatically that a piece of
it got added to Windows startup. There is so much spyware/addware out there
today it's hard to imagine being without RegRun. I like many other features
too including the daily registry backups and file protection.

I do NOT know or recommend these siites; they're just two of the man
possibilities in the search. Personally I'd look for removal for it on
Symantec.com and follow ther instructions.

HTH,

(In the future, do not use registry cleaners!)

You have malware, and it needs to be properly removed.
