    [Active] getting rid of spywares?

    On my new computer with XP x64 I have some spywares problem. I ran SUPERantispywares, a-square, antimalwares, spybots, ad-awares, cwshredder and got rid of some. But when I ran Cyberdefender I found:

    RogueAntiSpyware.CoreguardAntiVirus 2009 in registry
    Tickerbar(2) in files
    Try Media (5) in resgistry

    All the above are viewed by Cyberdefender as "high risk ". The problem is I can't use Cyberdefender unless I purchase it. I am not ready for that yet.
    I tried to search for the above spywares, but the search proved unsuccessful.

    What do you suggest?

    Are you sure that D.D.S will run on winXP x64? It doesn't do anything except saying "
    This tool does not your support your operating system ". *

    * I believe that the first "your" is an error (?).

    No - please wait for one of our malware analysts to advise.

    1. Malwaresbyte's Antimalwares free edition gave clean slate.

    2. Smitfraudfix stopped before going into "disk cleaner ".

    Unless somebody says otherwise, I have started to look into some of the pay solutions:

    - Malwaresbytes' antimalwares is out of the question since its free edition doesn't even discover the malwares.

    - Spy doctor installer gave an exception error on XP x64.

    - Webroot Spy Sweeper installer is compatible with Vista x64 but doesn't operate on XP x64.

    So I may probably go back to Cyberdefender.

    As it turns out, there is a version of CyberDefenderFree which allowed me to delete 7 of 8 malwares above. The one called RogueAntiSpyware.CoreguardAntiVirus 2009 in registry will require the pay version to delete it. It's the most dangerous of them, I think. I am trying to find out what is the maintenance cost of this software. Its website doesn't mention it.

    More information:

    I ran "CyberDefender early detection center" and now it only shows a trace of the RogueAntiSpyware.CoreguardAntiVirus 2009 in registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ->software->Microsoft->Windows->CurrentVersion->Shell extensions->Approved ->[ab] {5E2121EE-0300-11D4-8D3B-444553540000} ->REG_SZ-> Catalyst Context Menu extension

    That's it, no other files anywhere. I could delete that key from the registry but I am not sure CyberDefender is correct. Does anyone have some suggestion?

    My antivirus software is Moon secure Antivirus, a GPL supported software. I believe it is only an average software; but my gaming computer is only used for singleplayer gaming and no surfing at all, except when necessary. I'm actually quite surprised that it got this nasty coreguard malware.
