use regedit (Start->Run->regedit), search your program name in the regedit, find out related items in your registry and delete them. And then try again!

Add CCleaner and use it to clear both the system and registry.\nThen check for spyware using AdAware and Spybot S&D to catch ALL the spyware. One doesn't catch all.\nThen run a free ROOTKIT detector. This is different from the other solutions.\nIf you have a rootkit, you need a professional to remove it.

Fiddling with yer registry is a dangerous thing to do, so I'll give you a program that will let you know about what to delete - categorizing into 3 segments: SAFE TO DELETE, Not fully safe to delete, and unsafe to delete (unknown).\n\n1. Go to http://www.freewarefiles.com/downloads_counter.php?programid=9367\n\n2. Download Tweaknow\n3. Make sure you restore backup (after opening the program), when using for the first time\n4. Check all options for scanning, and run full scan\n5. Delete all the SAFE TO DELETE (green colored) items.\n\nUse it regularly (at least once a week, especially after you uninstall a program)

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.

My first question is how do you know it's your registry, are you getting a lot of errors in the system?  Or is your computer just running very slow?  Click on the link I've supplied.  In the upper right hand quarter of the screen.  You'll see the program, install this program to find the problems in your registry.  It's also very good at finding temporary Internet files and cleaning them out.  You will want to run the registry cleaner three times, this will clear out 90% of all the errors in your system.  Good luck!

Happy new year to you as well!  A registry cleaner will clean out old and corrupt registry entries, these are entries left behind by programs after they have installed or programs that you have uninstalled.  It will not affect McAfee.\n\nAn excellent free one can be found here, http://www.ccleaner.com/\n\nCleaning out your registry can make Windows run faster because it doesn't have to sort through all the older entries to find what it needs.

There are a few free registry cleaners.  Unfortunately, they aren't on par with commercial registry cleaners.  Fred Langa, of Informationweek, has a great review article on both free and commerical registry cleaners \n\n"Langa Letter: Testing 10 Windows 'Registry Cleaning' Software Packs: \nFred Langa tries to make sense of wildly disparate claims, and rates the best free and commercial products."\n\n(http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=171203805)\n\nAs for myself, I have tried several registry cleaners, both freeware and commercial.  The best "for pay" registry cleaner I have come across is TuneUp Utilties 2006.  It's accurate and efficient.  Personally, I think it outshines Iolo's System Mechanic and Norton's SystemWorks.  It has a 30 day trial period if you want to try it.  The download link is http://www.tune-up.com/\n\nAs for free registry cleaners, I would recommend CCleaner.  You can select which portion of the registry you want to scan for errors.  CCleaner will create a registry backup before cleaning anything.  It doesn't do a deep scan but it is free.  Fred Langa recommends EasyCleaner but I've used it and found CCleaner found more errors and gave me more control over what to scan and fix.  You can download both programs at BetaNews.com (www.betanews.com), just enter the program name in to the search box and search for all downloads.

I know of a free registry cleaner that is better than Registry Mechanic.  It's called RegSeeker.  It will search your registry for invalid entries and has a few other nifty tools.  Link is in sources.

Registry Repair Pro is a program designed to fix or delete errant entries in the Windows registry.  When you have installed and uninstalled a lot of programs those programs sometimes leaving entries in the registry behind.  This can cause reliability issues and may slow the performance of your computer because Windows has to sort through all the flotsum to find what it needs.  Registry Repair Pro or any registry scanning software will find old entries and delete them.  This is something you should to on a regular basis to maintain a stable system.  I wouldn't pay for it though.  CCleaner features a registry cleaner and it is completely free so I would just get that instead.  CCleaner also includes a number of other utilities as well.

Best kept secret - the VCOM System Suite has the best registry cleaner. It also has a good registry defragmenter too. You probably can these and other essential intenet tools for around $40.\n\nhttp://www.v-com.com/product/SystemSuite_Home.html

I don't know of any free registry cleaning tool that does a good job. My recommendation is the VCOM System Suite. It has a very good regristry cleaning/defragmenting tool that can speed up your computer significantly. You may be able to get a copy of Systemsuite for around $39.

I find TuneUp Utilities to be better than C-Cleaner for registry cleaning. C-cleaner is free, but you can try TuneUp Utilities free for 30 days to get a good cleaning in.\nhttp://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities
