Unable to remove FunWebProduct

[jaydub]

I have run Spybot today and get a single entry for FunWebProduct that cannot be removed with the boot up scan. I have tried running Spybot in safe mode with exactly the same result.

The registry entry that Spybot is referring to is:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{E342AF55-B78A-4CD0-A2BB-DA7F52D9D25F}

If I try and delete from regedit, I get an 'error while trying to delete key' and if I try and view any of the subkeys I get an 'error while opening key' message.

Whilst we have been infected with CoolWebSearch in the past, I can't see any app that might be causing the problem.

Anybody any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Or could it be a false positive?

Thanks for your help.

It appears that authorizations to read/write some FunWebProduct registry entries are removed so Spybot - S&D should be able to set authorizations to properly delete these registry entries (scan at boot isn't needed).
