removing amisites from the registry is straightforward
use regedit in the admin prompt window and you wil get the registry who opens. Then use the find option and you will find every amisites entrie
find … find again… and delete!!
BUT !!! after restarting the computer amisites still sits on top of my fire fox and opens first at homepage… when I check the register again no amisites entries are found anymore…
QUESTION …. are there registerentries who are not accessed by the find function , are they maybe invisible to even the admin user?
who knows more … I used this drastic measure because all else did not help!! so i have to learn more how the register functions and if it is possible to interfere in windows without having any registry entrance anymore!!!
