I need to know to eliminate those that I do not need and do more than place on my laptop once more. Given all this gibberish on my laptop makes it slower than molasas. I need help ASAP
You don't want to uninstall updates. You can remove the $NTUninstall - and that these folders - folders from the Windows directory. To make more room on your hard drive uninstalling programs, you have more desire and do general maintenance. Get an external hard drive and copy your data files (music, films, photos) on it and then delete the files of the primary hard drive. Or buy a bigger hard drive and clone the smaller one for her.

If so, then click to remove.
Then go into Windows Explorer. Research on Windows/System32 and see fi there is pcsd.dll and delete it.
Then go to regedit and search for any mention of PC Cleaner, PC Cleaner and remove these entries.Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.

Trying to remove virus, need to format the hard drive to remove all programs to remove the virus. I ran several security programs which has not found a virus. Taken at Best Buy, they ran their programs, could not detect viruses, but said there are something certainly on my system. System is pegged almost 100% all the time, so I can't really use the pc.
Reinstalling the operating system is usually not necessary to remove the malware, but if you're convinced that this is necessary (it is sometimes), this guide is a good:
http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html
(this assumes that you have the appropriate Windows XP installation CD)
Of course, you will need to boot from the CD instead of the hard drive. This page explains that:
http://michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm
You also need to install the hardware drivers. I hope that you have them on CD, too. If this is not the case, the web site of the manufacturer of PC should have them.
Since a clean install wipes EVERYTHING, you should have all your data copied beforehand.

Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
Operation of the network.Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
right of IE)Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x
Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
disabled - click OK

would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
(not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.I hope this helps.

I have two versions of the same book on my iphone and ipad, which are not synchronized with the other. I want the same book on each device, so I can study on one or the other. I tried to remove the books on my phone, ipad & itunes and start again. It does not work. Help.
Hello david.hogan87,
Thanks for posting about what is happening. If I understand you correctly, you have a book you want on your iPhone and iPad, but neither is synchronizing correctly to have both.
Have you checked every device to confirm that the same identifier Apple is signed all three?
iPhone and iPad: head to settings > iTunes and App Store
iTunes: on a Mac, it's under account or installed depending on the version of iTunes store. On a PC, it is also under account, and if you don't see the menu bar, click on the triangle in the upper left corner to view the Bar Menu or CTRL + B on the keyboard.
If all 3 have the same signed Apple ID, post the version of iOS and iTunes for all three devices here, please.
Best regards.
