I've noticed that a lot of spyware renders itself untouchable by anti-spyware software by using permissions to protect it's registry entries. I was thinking of running something like this:

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=everyone=f

To allow easier removal. I know that MS recommends that "everyone" not be given full rights, but I can't really take the time to reset each locked key, so I figure this would be faster.

What does the collective think?

I also found a program called Danger Tools

that allows me to run a command prompt with System priviledges. Would running the anti-spyware software from that prompt allow me to bypass the permissions in the registry?
