If I go into the registry looking for stray entries do i just look for the ewido ones???
Basically yes. Look first of all for an entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ewido and delete if it's there . Next , in the toolbar , click on edit > find > and type in ewido . Click find next . If it finds anything delete it. Then go back to edit > find next. Repeat this until no more entries are found.
Have to stress you edit the registry at your own risk. Any mistake/s made could render your pc unusable and in the worst case scenario mean you have to reinstall windows. If you're not comfortable with the registry leave well alone. Before editing back up the registry and/or create a system restore point.
The other option is to use a dedicated registry cleaner or an app such as CCleaner.
