Hi, I have windows XP and my daughter was online last night. Somehow we got anti virus 2009 on the computer. I downloaded malware bytes and Ccleaner and I ran them both. They are both coming up as no viruses, malware, etc. and registry is clean.

However, when I try to get on Internet explorer it keeps coming out with either pop ups about anti-virus 2009 or it goes right to about:blank. I have read a lot of the other questions, but I can’t seem to find anyone that has the same type of issue.

I am fairly computer knowledgable, but not really experienced about going into windows explorer and changing or deleting things, so I am hopeful that someone might give me some ideas about what I can do.

Please, real help only. Thank you very much.

I just gotten over an issue with trojans and malware on my computer so i installed an anti spy program( super anti-spy) but i noticed i still had issues with unknown pop-ups on my browser so i also downloaded an anti-malware(Malware Bytes)
and after finally getting my computer clean i think i also erased some very imporatant registry keys needed to run my windows xp and certain websites properly..do i have to go to a computer specialist?

actually is not free. In fact they wanted me to register but did not even tell me what it would cost. They indicated I had over 1,000 errors to be fixed on my computer. Why say it is free when it really is not free??? Is there any free system clean-ups?

I’m having some virus trouble and since then I have no sound. I have a Creative Soundblaster Audigy 24 bit Soundcard installed.

Control Panel Says: "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"

The viruses load up on boot, ending the viruses on task manager stops a blue screen error, but the viruses won’t be detected by my anti-virus.

I tried to do system restore, to a point 2 days ago, when the sound worked and I keep getting blue screen errors saying your computer has been shut down to prevent hardware damage.
I can’t start my computer in safe mode either, and last known good configuration gets the same blue screen error.
I also have "Registry Mechanic" back-ups for my registry for various dates, but this fails to solve the problem too.

I try and play a file in winamp and get the following error with a loud beep:
Nullsoft Direct sound output v.2.47 (d) error. Bad directsound driver, please install proper drivers or select another device in configaration.
Error code: 88780078

Direct x says: "No sound card was found. If one is expected, you should install a sound driver provided by the hardware manufacturer."

Please can you link me the drivers for my Soundcard or provide any other help for restoring the registry.

"do you have sytem restore"
I have one for 30 October 2008 (made by Registry Mechanic) so there will be a back up of my registry. But I get a blue screen hardware error.

I also tried this: http://www.downloadatoz.com/windows-registry/faq,how-to-repair-windows-code-19-registry.html

However, Registry Booter would not install due to this error: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315353

I keep getting all these pop ups, but i have pop up blocker on.
