Best and safest way to fix the registry AND get rid of spyware is to go here\n\nhttp://safety.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm\n\nand do the full service scan. it's from microsoft and it works beautifully.\n\ntweaking the registry is pretty tricky. So be very very carareful. If I were you I wouldn't touch it except with the microsoft online scanning tool above.\n\nYou'll be amazed how muxh stuff it finds and fixes! It looks for and fixes: viruses, spy/adware, invalid registry entries, temp files, does a port scan and lots more!

why would you need to do that?\n\ndid you accidently erase the registry editor built into windows?\n\nyou can access the registry editor by going to\nStart>Run>Type: regedit\n\n\nbut assuming that it is the same regedit.exe that is referrenced by windows i don't see why not.

Manually editing a registry can be very dangerous.  If you are not 100% sure of what you are doing, don't do it.  Also, make sure you have a backup of your data before you mess around with it.  Danger lurks.\n\nAnyway, the administrator account should be able to edit the registry.  May just want to check you user account settings to make sure the administrator account really does have administrator access.  It can be taken away.  May also be the result of spy ware or a virus.

No.  It will not harm your system.  I have this on my computer at home, and I use it frequently.  If in doubt, choose the option to back up the registry, when prompted.  This is a nice little piece of software, right up there with others like SpyBot - search and destroy and AVG Free edition.

Yes!! Go to this Microsoft free site and click on Full Service Scan button. You'll be amazed at all the stuff it finds AND fixes. Checks and fixes registry, temp files, and all kinds of things, besides virus & spyware. \n\nIT TAKES A LONG TIME!!! Patience.... but it's definitely worth it. You'll see..\n\nhttp://safety.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm

I have tested every registry fix, that I could find on the WWW. An after all my testing, I use from http://www.rosecitysoftware.com\n\nRegistry First Aid, I have used for nine years in two computers and never has this program removed a good registry key in error.  The program always starts with a full backup of your registry that can be found at: start=search for files= type in, "backups",  and scan.  Upon completion of scan you will see, "RFA backups", open and there are all your backup registry key.  This will also be the case for any registry key you delete.\n\nWhen you start with "Check Registry For Errors",  the program will scan your entire registry an upon completion will show you a list, with check marks next to a green box, yellow, box and red box.  The green and yellow are safe to move.  I also remove the ones checked next to the red box, because over nine years I found that they are also safe to remove.  (Plus you have your backup of everything you delete).  \n\nThen there is an area called "Search The Registry".   This is excellent to remove a spyware, adware file that your antispyware just will not remove.   \n\nAll you have to do is type in the name at the top and click on add.  Then then scan.  All related an associated keys for this file will come up.  Then if you left click on each description of the file assoicated with the registry key and drop down to where you see, "Delete String", you then run the delete an ofcourse you will have a backup.   \n\nThis is a purchased software that is in my opinion is true state of the art technology.  (The owner has many awards including his website from Microsoft as they are authorized by Microsoft to put out a news report. "Microsoft help", related to all of microsoft products). \n\nI have 195,000 files in my system with medical data on refugees world wide and my personal patients.  Believe my there is no way that I am in a position to let any registry repair take out a good key and destroy my system.  \n\nThis company is out of Oregon, in the United States.\n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France

Generally you should consider using more than one tool.   They should be well known and easily available.\n\nSpybot Search & Destroy, and Lavasoft's Ad-Aware product are two of the most popular tools.  They're both available at www.download.com.\n\nI would also recommend another product on that site, called CCleaner.  It helps you clean up your registry.\n\nOne last thing, there's a local website with a forum, www.johnmanzo.tv that provides free tech help from average computer guys like me.   We just help folks with their basic troubles, similar to your spyware problem.\n\nNote:  Avoid the advertisements for *any* spyware-removal product that charges you a free or offers a free scan.  There are many of these types of programs out there that are useless.\n\nGood luck.
