Registry entry - Teknum Systems

[Plan9]

Every time I remove any traces of Teknum Systems from my registry
(Win2K) with regedit they reappear at next bootup/restart. The only
Teknum software that I recall every installing was Handy Bits File
Shreader and I removed it within minutes since it was too slow and
seemed to chew up resources.

I assume some startup service rewrites Teknum stuff to the registry,
but which one and where is it? I can't find it. Anyone know how to
permanently remove this from a Win2K system?

Here are the two entries that get written:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Teknum Systems
(Default) REG_SZ (Value not set)
RefCount REG_WORD 0x00000015 (21)

HKEY_USERS -> (S-"many numbers") -> Software -> Teknum Systems
(Default) REG_SZ (Value not set)
RefCount REG_WORD 0x00000015 (21)

Thanks,
--Ben

Should have done an archive search first. Sorry.

The answer is at http://www.net-integration.net/ in the Spybot S&D
forum. Turns out there is a program available from Teknum to clean
the last traces of their meddling.
