Wait a few days and you will find your computer totally screwed up.
They say they have fould something but they jsut mess everythig up.
Or I dunno about that program but thats too early to say.
I recommend Spy Sweeper.
Nice pointer. Thanks for posting!
RegCure is ok but it is prone to reporting false negatives. See what I mean by running it three times in succession. The last two will report the same errors.
As you will appreciate there are many reasons why your computer is running slow:
I have listed the most obvious, some of which you may have already tried but for completeness they are mentioned here.
First of all make sure you do not have any malware in the form of viruses or spyware. Run your anti virus and anti spyware programs in order to clear out any beasts. Spyware is becoming more and more of a problem because some spyware is extremely difficult to identify and even more difficult to remove.
If you do not have any protection both of these are exceptional and available for free:
Anti spyware I suggest:

Anti virus I suggest:

Remove junk & temporary Internet files that may be cluttering your system by running Ccleaner – free for download from:

You may have too many programs kicking off at start up. These two free downloads allow you to take control what applications run at start up:

Your hard disk may be getting full. You need at least 15% of free space for it to operate efficiently. Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs & remove any applications you no longer use. How about removing all those pictures & music that is filling up your hard drive?
Your hard disk(s) may be fragmented. Windows has a built in defragmentation program but you can download a quicker third party program for free:

Your registry may be cluttered or corrupt. Ccleaner mentioned above also has a registry cleaner but how about downloading another very good free registry cleaner:

How about overheating? Clean all the vents on your computer with an air duster (can of compressed air). If a laptop, operate it on a hard surface so that air can flow freely around it. For a desktop, open it up and clean inside with the air duster.
Finally, after you have done all the above may need to upgrade your RAM. Normally Windows XP is quite happy with 1GB but for Windows Vista I suggest upgrading to 2GB to get equivalent speed and efficiency. In order that you get the right type of RAM for your system do a free scan at Crucial to determine your RAM.

Good luck with your quest and I hope these suggestions improve your system.
