I have found on my husbands laptop a malware that is very persistant at staying on his computer even thou I have run several Malware removals....both in normal mode and in safe mode.....MalwarbytesAnti-Malware finds it...deletes it but it comes back.....I also downloaded in safe mode and tried SuperAntimalware but that does not find anything in registry.....Spybot search and destory finds 1 but it does not show up when you click on show details...nothing shows up! So why can I not get rid of it.......It says its in Registry Key...HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{9D717F81-9148-4F12-8568-69135F087DB0} (PUP.Optional.Bandoo.A)

In command prompt:

Code:

reg  query  HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{9D717F81-9148-4F12-8568-69135F087DB0}  /s

post output

It's just a PUP Remove PUP.Optional.Bandoo.A (Removal Guide)

In command prompt:

Code:

reg  delete  HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{9D717F81-9148-4F12-8568-69135F087DB0}

It's safe to delete that key

It says unable to find registry key or value......have I written it down wrong perhaps! Oh I tried the Adwcleaner but to no avail

Is this your thread https://forums.malwarebytes.org/inde...owtopic=132533 ?
It lists the same key!

Is string 9D717F81-9148-4f12-8568-69135F087DB0 anywhere in registry (start at top and use search option)

HKey_Current_User\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{9D717F81-9148-4F12-8568-69135F087DB0}

really doesn't exist? run regedit and check
