1. Another removal method by Guest. 2004-09-12 10:09:26

I got rid of this through a different method. Check it out.

I firstly stopped all running processes of BTV. I then deleted the folder BTV. Once I had done this I opened up regedit and did a search on BTV and deleted all hits it gave me. this took around 5 searches, possibly more before it came back empty. I then ran a program called Hijack This and deleted the entry relating to "breg", it was a java entry. I cannot remeber the full line unfortunately. At this point I restarted and it aint come back. Oh and pls remember to back up your registry before doing this, but im shure you already know this.

Thanks Binary Zero

hope this other method can be of some help.
