It's a little hard to tell accurately without taking a
look at what you removed; ie, saying that you cleaned
things out of the Registry is great, but without
knowing what keys you "cleaned", it's hard to tell.

However, doing a quick search on Google for
"atpartners", some of the info I found points to
BHOs...

Sorry, wish I could help more, but I'd need more info...
