Manually editing Windows registry for removing a browser hijacking entry ?

I ran a free antispyware scan with XoftSpy from www.paretologic.com and it listed that my notebook is infected with CWS.Oslogo (type: registry value; threat level: Severe risk;object: software\microsoft\internet explorer\styles\user stylesheet ) .



For removing this registry entry I was asked to purchase the XoftSpy program.



What are the ways/instructions to MANUALLY %26 SAFELY edit the Windows registry in order to get rid of this malicious registry entry?



CWS is one of a group of browser hijackers and Browser Helper Objects (BHOs) that have become famous for their prevalence and global influence. It exploits security holes in a Web browser (often Internet Explorer and its Java Virtual Machine) to install itself and direct all browser default pages, address bar searches and search engine searches to other web search pages. Oslogo slows down Internet Explorer considerably and periodically changes the homepage and search page to other websites.

Sounds like you have the latest TrojanWin32 hijacker. This malicious virus is designed to interrupt browsing and give you some minor connection problems in the hop that the site currently dispensing it will get you to pay for their removal software.



YOU DO NOT NEED TO DOWNLOAD THEIR VIRUS SOFTWARE TO REMOVE THIS!
