Registry keys are not removable because "user" cannot run regedit or task manager after installing antivirus 2008. And this is after removal of the guts of the program "Program Files/Vav/". This is a very dangerous program. Do not pay and install full version under any circumstances. Inability to edit registry may make many user irrationally angry.
