Registry Cleaner XP – Help me understand?

June 12, 2009

I just formated me computer yesterday in an effort to get rid of the constant "Messanger Service" pop-ups from RegistryCleanerXP.

After the format, everything seemed fine, but today i was browsing the net and i got the same pop-up as before.

Why??

I have only gone to two or three websites since the format, and everything seemed fine. But now the pop-up's are back.

How can i get ride off them premanatly?? And how are they getting one my computer??

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks
Thanks for the info Gary,

But i was just wondering, if doing it through services.msc will affect anything else on my computer??

I had actually read that method of fixing the problem, but some people say that if you do it through services.msc, then it will disable other things on your computer such as MSN messenger.

Is that true?

My computers been really choppy, slow and laggy lately. And it kind of irritates me. I think I have gotten several viruses and maybe some bad adware/spyware. I’m getting random pop ups some times and the computer is overall just a lot slower than normal. What programs should I use to get a good clean up to get my computer back to normal? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Does microsoft offer a registry clean up?

June 3, 2009

there are so many different registry clean ups being offered and they're SOOO expensive. I'd like to find a good free one that is actually free…not a trial that lasts thirty days and doesn't actually do anything. Any suggestions or advice?

How do you turn on your virus protection?

June 1, 2009

I recently was experiencing a lot of pop-ups so I decided to download a different virus protection called "avast". But stupid me, I forgot to uninstall my old virus protection software(Norton) and now my computer automatically turned off the virus protection. I'm not sure what to do? Is there a way to turn it back on? Do I have to uninstall 'avast'?
If I need to uninstall norton, how do i do it?

Where can I find a free microsoft windows registry cleaner that is safe?

June 1, 2009

More and more when I try to connect to the internet I keep getting pop-up's that there are fatal error's in my registry from all types of places such as fixmyregistry.com, www.windowsregistrycleaner.com. I don't have a credit card so what is the best safe freeware or shareware? Should I pay attention to these pop_ups? Everytime they come up they keep me from connecting to the internet and force me to use ctr+alt+del to restart my computer because I cannot access my start menu (the little hour glass shows when I go to it) HELP!
