A Registry Mechanic (installed on my Desktop) scan showed 24 shared DLL’s, 75 Temporary/Shortcut and 14 Deep Scan problems/errors. Unfortunately, I’m not a computer nerd and so, I don’t know what all that stuff means. I haven’t purchased it (Registry Mechanic/PC Tools), yet. I don’t know what a computer "registry" is.
I’m also receiving prompts telling me I have both application and stop (and some other type of error I don’t remember) errors.
My computer’s security programs consist of the following freeware: Ad-Aware SE Personal; Spybot Search & Destroy, and SpywareBlaster for malware/anti-spyware purposes; and for a firewall, ZoneAlarm.
I have an unpurchased/not registered Spy Sweeper (Webroot) on my Desktop which I use for scan purposes.
My only registered/purchased (anti-virus) program is AVG Professional, from Czechoslovakia, and I’m in the last year of their two-year program. I have no big complaints about them. If there’s a better one, I’m not aware of it
HELP

I would think you are ok, then.
I use AVG, Spybot, and Ad-aware on my home computer, and have had no problems. Just make sure you clear your cookies frequently, and run those programs at a frequency that would best match how you use your computer. And be careful what sites you go to.
I also use Mozilla Firefox, that has a built-in pop-up blocker. It’s wonderful – and it’s a much better browser than Internet Explorer. Once you learn to tab-browse, you’ll be flying through the net like never before – if you’re not already doing that.
