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)

just edited my post

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 ..
