Do registry cleaners actually work and if so, which is the best and what is the best spyware/adware dectection and removal progrms? Does webroot spy sweeper incorporate a registry cleaner? How do I know if I need a registry cleaner? The computers seem to work will and after using selective start up they boot faster but a program KBD.EXE occasionally fails on the desktop. I have downloaded two registry cleaners and of course both say that the registry needs to be cleaned and I am concerned this is all a sort of scam. I now have remnants of these registry cleaners in my start up program, which I have disabled but I want to know how to remove them from the start up list. Thank you for your help.

I’m having trouble doing the task, it says no hard drive found.

I have pop-up blocker that shows it is enabled, but I still get pop-ups every time I log. Also, my home page is set to Yahoo but it has been resetting itself to a "messenger site." I have to reset each time back to yahoo on a daily basis. What is this and what do I do?

i kind of know what im doing, but what i did didnt work out, so i guess what im doing must be wrong, but I hope thats where you come in and help me out 🙂

Basically i switch on my PC it loads up then the blue screen of death as they cal it comes up and it displays that error.
So basically im screwed since i cant log onto the pc 🙂 (sarcasm face)
I can however log onto the pc in safe mode.

So what i have done so far is install the recovery console.
I ran the recovery console as the PC was booting up and i replaced the supposed corrupt software file in the C:\windows\system32\config\ folder with the one from C:\windows\repair\system. Once i did that i exited the recovery console and woooopdidooo to my amazement the pc logged on and no blue screen came up, at this point i was over the moon, mazed at my accomplishment and basking in my glory.
However i after i logged on, was done surfing the web. I shut down.
I then put the PC back on, and I was shattered…the blue screen, with the same error was back 🙁
sooo now im totally stumped as to what to do..
I seriously dont want to re install the OS since that is not really an option, i have really important programmes on the PC which are configured and it would be a huge headache re installing them.

So if you can help me, which i am praying u can, please please help..i’d be so grateful you have no idea.
THANK YOU
Thanks! Will try that soon, I did have Mcafee installed however and xoftspy…so i doubt its malware, but at the same time i hope it is..then at least i know what the problem is.
