I accidentally let some malware on my computer and it installed drivers so i couldn't delete the reg Keys or the program itself because I didn't have the proper permissions (super administrator account )

I busted out Linux, used a piece of software to open the register, manually deleted the register key entries, because Linux doesn't care what level of admin you are on Windows, he just sudos that shit.

Rebooted, malware gone.

    @Jumpshot44 indeed I was. Malware couldn't even be removed by adwcleaner. Then you know someone has made persistent Malware

    Forgive me, but how exactly did you utilize linux to remove malware on a windows machine? Do you mean you dual booted/used a VM?

    @fatenuller I used Ubuntu,
    1. put it on a USB
    2. Live boot it (no install required)
    3. Allow third party apps in software Centre
    4. Install chntpw and happy editing

    @zombie01 Well, a live USB doesn't even care about what your disk partition is, so win reg is a joke to it.
