Can someone tell me how to remove this awtoolkit trojan from my computer...I
read all the posts but no one mentions the registry changes and AW is not
responding to my emails.

It probably just adds some entries in
HKEY_(LOCAL_MACHINE|CURRENT_USER)\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run[Once|Service|etc]

An easy way to find them (although they're of no danger if you got
rid of the files) would be to search the registry for the filename(s)
the trojan was dumped as. Just use regedit (be warned, if you edit
the wrong entries you could screw some things up, make sure it's
only stuff pertaining to the trojan).
