Clean Registry and Optimize PC
A registry cleaner is a type of software utility designed for the Microsoft Windows operating system whose purpose is to remove redundant or unwanted items from the Windows registry. However the necessity and usefulness of registry cleaners is a controversial topic, with experts not agreeing on their benefit. The problem is further clouded by the fact that malware and scareware is often associated with utilities of this type.
Clean your Registry can make your computer faster

Well try these instructions listed below:
Read online reviews of the different registry cleaners and see which one is right for you. The good ones aren’t free, so it’s a good idea to take your time when evaluating their features and user interfaces.
Download and install the registry cleaner of your choice. Some are available from third-party download sites (see Resources below), but most are available on their developers’ home pages.
Make sure the registry cleaner you’ve installed works with your version of Windows before running it. Earlier utilities often have compatibility issues with Vista.
Launch the registry cleaner and conduct a full scan of your computer. This sweeps the entire registry and repairs any errors the program finds.
Maintain your PC’s health with regular registry sweeps. If your registry cleaner gives you a choice, conduct a quick scan instead of a full registry scan for each of these check-ups.

When you say clean install I’m guessing you mean formatting you’re hard drive
And when you format you’re drive you delete everything on it. So yes that would do the trick
Hello,
yes a clean install will fix the corrupt registry and virus/malware issues.
I hope this helps

Do a system restore to a point before this all happened then give your sister her own account on the computer with limited or no download capability’s that will solve this problem.
Yes doing a format and install will take care of the problem, but the real problem is still there your sister.
Yes a clean install will reformat your hard drive and clean up all the crap including your registry as it will install a new one will also amount to have a hard drive that is not fragmented. If u become fed up with reinstalling an operating system over over over and over again as if it was the normal thing to do while it is not u may consider linux or a mac do u hear mac users ALWAYS dealing with viruses malware and reinstalling Mac OS?

If you do a clean (custom) install onto your current vista drive, it will fix every issue you mentioned.
You will lose all your data though, so make sure you back up, but becareful not to copy the virus onto the new system.
It absolutely will fix everything, as you’re deleting all of your system files and personal files (That you don’t choose to back up)
