Is it worth trying a registry cleaner, such as CCleaner? One thing it does is delete items related to applications that are no longer on the system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Yadiel Sotomayor Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2011 6:56 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: How to edit the register safely with jaws. Hello list:' My subject says it all. I wwant to delete some anoying regestry keys on my system and I need hints and ideas on how it works, what I should I do and how should I do it using jaws. The reason I want to delete some registry keys is because on sunday my computer was infected yet again (first time since I have avast though). Apparently my anti-virus did not picked it up. But thankfully I did. It was one of those little malwares that enter your system and puts the following message on your computer "your anti-virus program is out of date, click here to download the latest version". This of course struck me as odd since just a few seconds before my anti-virus--avast--said "virus database has been updated". Of course I did not clicked on the link. What I did on the following days is to technical and doesn't bring much to the subject. But the short story is that I found the little creature and I deleted all of its components except the registery keys. According to a host of internet and written manuals on virus prevention and destruction, one of the most important things one must do is to delete the registry keys. So, any ideas on what to do? Thanks for any help. Yadiel J. Sotomayor E-MAIL: yadosotomayor@xxxxxxxxxxx
