I have the paid version of McAfee installed on my computer, but it's not fully removing 2 viruses that I got from a website while viewing it.

dwm.exe virus ( not desktop windows manager / there's another one, in different folder location, so I know it's a virus )
can't remember the other name.

I normally disable them Via task manager. McAfee can't detect them, so I installed another software and removed them.

The only thing that I can think is that they're still in the registry.

Any idea on how to remove them, without uninstalling my anti-virus software, because I paid for a yearly subscription?

I think McAfee cannot handle this kind of virus it is already installed in registry. You can try online antivirus, who don't need to be installed in your system and scan and remove the virus...
Any names that you know of that might help?

Hi there

I find hijackthis a great tool to get rid of nasty unwanted things on my computer. It does not seem to work with the postman though who keeps giving me nasty unwanted bills.
