Pissed Can't shake 'em!!

sup

I was just running AdAware and Spybot. I was able to clean everything out except 5 registry keys. Everytime I try to delete them, it hangs at "Quarantining Selection". Eventually it keeps going. I delete the archive. But when I do a rescan, the darn keys are still there. Any ideas?

btw, SpyBot doesn't pick them up.

Thanks

Try running Ad-aware in safe mode.

I have similar problem.
I have been using Ad-Aware, Spybot, Spy Sweeper and McAfee to clean my computer.
My computer is running Windows XP.
Let me ask a dumb question.
How do I start my computer into safe mode?

Start the computer and just as soon as you do start pressing the F8 key to bring up the Start Options, then select Safe Mode.
