Please help with stubborn Win 7 registry entries!

Hi folks,

I've been using PT 2009 to clean up the registry sludge after upgrading to Win 7. The following entries stubbornly refuse to be removed. Windows also is not happy when I try to change permissions so I can delete the entries. AFAIK, this is not a PT problem, but I would be most grateful for any insight into solving this annoying problem.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\controlset001\enum\root\legacy_tmtdi\0000\DeviceDesc : Trend Micro TDI Driver

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\enum\root\legacy_tmtdi\0000\DeviceDesc : Trend Micro TDI Driver

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\controlset002\enum\root\legacy_tmtdi\0000\DeviceDesc : Trend Micro TDI Driver

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\controlset001\enum\root\legacy_tmtdi\0000\DeviceDesc : Trend Micro TDI Driver

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\enum\root\legacy_tmtdi\0000\DeviceDesc : Trend Micro TDI Driver

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\controlset002\enum\root\legacy_tmtdi\0000\DeviceDesc : Trend Micro TDI Driver

Note: My version of Trend Micro is not compatible with Win 7 and was uninstalled prior to the upgrade.

If it's permissions and/or ownership that's the problem, this procedure might work:

There is an application called RegASSASSIN (http://www.malwarebytes.org/regassassin.php) that might help in your case. The program allows you to remove registry keys by resetting the keys' permissions and then deleting them. I have not tried this program myself. Use at your own risk.
