thanx, the problem is that i had to reformat my computer so many times i'm gonna be more careful with wot do i delete and install.

1 last question:After uninstalling a programm,do the Register keys remain?

cuz that may be the reason why i always have low PC performance

thanx

depending on the software. but unfortunately uninstalling a software doesn't always delete all reg_keys. so some will still remain. and yes ... this maybe causes your system having low performance.

try to use a reg_cleaner, e.g. jv16 power_tools or search for other reg_cleaners.

manually searching the reg is also a possibility, but some keys will not be found under the name or companyname of the installed software.

so i suggest to use a reg_cleaner.

hope this helps

edit: i forgot the spyware:

i cannot answer this cause i do not know if you have software installed that "needs" the spyware, that means some software only runs with the spyware included in it.

but for me: i would delete this spyware and look for clean versions of the applications B)

thanx.

wot about the spyware?

(it could also be the reason for slow performance)

just edited my post :lol: :lol: :lol:

also take a look on the applications which "autorun" at system starts. you can do this also with above mentioned jv16_ powertool and you can decide which progs you really want to run.

yes this is ok

... but: there are some software creating new keys in run or run_service, so for the next time you have it again running at sys start.

then maybe a registry_watcher like adwatch in adaware is helpful B)

My suggestion is to get rid of it ... I had this stuf also and its gone now with no problems with my programs...

Spybot s&d has a imminaize system that you can use also as well as a cleaning..

jv 16 power tools is a great reg cleaner too.

If getting rid of your junk and doing a defrag does not speed it up you can look at trying some stuff Here .. ;)
