If you want to solve the PC slowdown problems then you must learn how to clean the PC registry. Computer registry is very important part and helps to run the program efficiently. They form part of all the activities that can range from creating or editing of a Microsoft Word document, to installing of the programs and various other software. It serves as a guide for every program that is installed on the system and therefore run and operates them effectively.
Therefore, it is necessary for every user of the computer to know how to fix windows xp registry whenever it is corrupted. There are two main methods that are used for a Windows XP registry fix. The first method is the manual search, identification and deletion of junk files. This method cannot be used by the regular users and is reserved for the high level programmers and developers.
The second method for a Windows XP registry fix is to use registry cleaners. These registry cleaners are available in the market in the form of software can be installed and run effectively. You can choose any among them meeting your standards. There are basically two types of registry cleaners. They can be either the paid version or the free ware. The paid version is generally more reliable and has more power to perform the cleaning tasks s compared to the free version.
If you value your PC and the programs and your PC is suffering problems then the first step should always be a Windows XP registry fix. This will effectively do the cleaning process of the computer system and therefore improve its performance.

How can I, and is it too late for me to remove Internet Security 2010?
For the past couple of weeks, my fathers computer has been acting funny. I had malwarebytes already installed to it and working until I noticed the differences on the computer (audio playing without any background processes responsible, and webpages acting peculiar). Today I installed ESET Smart security with an older update (after telling him i would add a different program). Also, remembering I had ended some startup processes, I opened up msconfig and checked the ones to start up that I unchecked a month or two ago and restarted the computer. This is where things went from bad to worse. If i can recall correctly, the computer was frozen during the restart. This is strange, but has been normal for awhile due to the occurrences already stated. So I hard-booted after awhile, and it got stuck at the startup. So i hardbooted again, and there was a popup describing how the computer was infected with a "stage 5" virus out of "0-5". It said a full system scan was required, and i clicked continue. Normally, i wouldnt do that stuff If it had been an actual pop-up from a web page or program. But this showed before the start bar or icons appeared, so i figured it was something I should click.. Well fuck my life.
Anyhow, the system rebooted, I saw the blue windows screen, and here came internet security 2010 (popup came up again, and i just closed).. I scanned with ESET and got nowhere. Then I updated ESET to the 4800 update. Scanned, and found some threats, then the scan stopped. Repeat that process a couple more times. I knew it was a fake already, since I had gotten a virus similar however not as severe. I noticed his wallpaper changed to something saying "SYSTEM HAS BEEN INFECTED!", and more popups urging us to buy the software. I checked the internet for any solutions, and the softsailor.com tutorial seemed to help a lot of people. It and many other sites had malwarebytes on it as a removal tool for this situation. That lead us to believe it was legit.
I tried malwarebytes, and ESET multiple times with the same results. No install, and an unfinished scan. Just now, i read through their tutorial thoroughly, instead of figuring MBAM will save the day itself. I noticed rkill needed to be used, so i used it. Well fuck my life…
rkill wasnt able to work. a popup said it was infected. And soon after more tries at the steps of removal, I heard audio coming from the computer. It wasnt normal audio. It was a russian guy saying "Hello, my name is Nikolai.." he continued to ramble about how he will steal money safely in his "left pocket". I heard someone else say something in the background agreeing with him.
This worried me more.
So please, what should I do now. I have run out of solutions. Turn of the computer? I cant system restore, it has been blocked too. I cant open the registry or task manager still. Help!
I will try the http://www.bleepingcomputer.com, hopefully it works (it has more information on what to do if MBAM doesnt work, but not rkill…)
My mom is currently trying spybot search and destroy. I am almost sure it wont work.
The computer WONT launch in safemode
*UPDATE* My mom was looking around the web and tried some other programs. I didn’t recommend this, but I wasnt going to object. One computer messing up was enough for me, wanted to let her do her thing. Now the computer wont turn on….
rkill.exe doesnt work. I close the window saying it is infected, and let it run until it closes. Then i run MBAM, and still nothing appears. I cant end processes or enter regedit from run
Reformat. If you really want to save your computer someone at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ may be able to help, although usually they wont even look at your post unless you also have a HijackThis scan result to go with it.

Rkill is safe. I’m pretty sure you don’t have to go into Safe Mode.
I would first try restarting your computer and boot into safe mode. Safe mode only allows the windows program to run. You can do this by restarting your computer and repeatedly press the F8 button until a black screen with white lettering comes up. Scroll down and select "safe mode". Be patient during this process as your computer will not run as fast. If the Internet Security 2010 does not pop up, update Malwarebytes and Eset and run a full scan. If Internet Security 2010 pops up again, run "rkill". You will see one or two messages that says "rkill" is a malware program but ignore it as it is trying to deceive you. Once "rkill" is finished, update both your security programs and run a full scan. After removing the rogue program, make sure you update your security programs before you surf the web so your security software can block these rogue programs and remember if you see any pop up that says your computer is infected and it is not from your installed security program, just close it out. Both Eset and Malwarebytes are great programs. Unfortunately, you installed Eset after your system was infected which prevented the program from working. Secondly, as good as Malwarebytes is, the free version is a on demand scanner. I recommend that you purchase the Pro version of Malwarebytes. It works in the background just like your paid antivirus program to protect you from infection plus it will auto update itself.
