I just want to clean my computer off so it will generally run faster. All the programs I do not use anymore I want totally gone, and I find when I uninstall things from the control panel, the files and folders are still in my Program Files folder. I know to perform defrag, error checking, and virus scans, but since my C drive is getting full, I need to clear a bunch of stuff off so its like semi-new and runs faster. Any suggestion on how I should do this?
My system registry was cleaned using CCleaner.(This program is a freeware and downloaded from http://www.ccleaner.com/)
In this process I lost all updates(something around 100 updates..) of windowsXP SP2,which is a pirated version.The updates are periodically down loaded from windows website
And I couldnot undo the action.
But my system is working normal even after loosing the updates listed in control panel>add remove program window.
My doubt is why CCleaner programs recommonded to remove the updates when they are part of widows XP operating program.
And what could be the consequenses I have to face because of the loss of updates in the future.
My friends computer has become infected with spyware or a virus. He is running Windows XP on a Compaq. Theres a little dialog box popping up constantly that says theres a virus on the computer. When you click on the box it redirects you to a spyware remover page. Obviously its an attempt to sell this product. How can I remove this and stop all these pop ups? I was thinking about manually cleaning the registry. How would I go about that? And what about those programs in the Add/Remove programs in control panel that just wont go away? I need to get this junk off his computer. What do I do? Without spending money that is.

Computer. well, the Diagnostic Utility found the following in the”Conflicting Applications Test”, this test Verifyies if you have any conflicting applications installed on your computer, the test FAILED. they found the following Application Name: Norton Internet Security 2007. the Unistall Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SymSetup.{5AA2CD16-706F-41f3-87C5-2B5A031F2B3B. I removed Norton Internet Security 2007 a few months ago by using my Add or Remove Programs from the control panel, but I would like to know if I need to get the Uninstall key ”showing above”, to make sure that Norton Internet Security 2007 is completly uninstalled from my sistem because when I check the Security Center it shows that I’m running MULTIPLE Anti-Virus software in my Computer sometimes.
Thanks
