I have several odd registry entries and do not know whether or not they are viruses.

"Red light"; «Watch "; and "carpet".  All have similar values with 50 lines of hex'

I just checked my registry and found no occurrences of "Red light" or "carpet".  The word 'Watch' appears in many places, but especially in the context of other words such as "Roxwatch".  I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  If you want to check your system, here are some things you can do.

Get your updated antivirus program and start safe mode.  Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan mode without failure.  To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode.  Then run a complete system scan.

You can check the corrupted system files.  Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.

When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and it puts regular periodic updates.

I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • My Manager of Add-ons Firefox 15.0.1 stop working. I have several add ons installed and can not handle them.

    On a new installation of XP SP3 after a few days of using the add-on Manager just quit loading. Tried switching back and forth between all the 4 tabs on the page of the Add-ons Manager, nothing. Tried rebooting with the disabled modules, didn't work. Check all the options I know, can't seem to solve the problem.

    Delete the extensions.ini and extensions.sqlite and maybe also compatibility.ini of the Firefox profile might help. You must display the first hidden files to see profile.

  • PC Windows Vista stops unexpectedly. Sometimes several times a day and sometimes not at all.

    My Windows Vista PC completely stops unexpectedly and without warning. Sometimes several times a day and sometimes not at all. When I turn it back on, sometimes I have a blue screen that tells me that the PC has experienced an unexpected shutdown and communicate with my local technician. However when turning on, I am always able to return to my office. My anti-virus support told me that it is not related to a virus. Help!

    It is likely some equipment or device driver issue (although we can not entrierly a problem of software).  I need a lot more information on this blue screen - EXACTLY what it says Word for Word with all the codes.  Read the messages and follow the procedures established by the MVP of the spirit in the following thread on the Blue Screen of Death.  They should help you solve your problem. http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistahardware/thread/8cd8362e-7d06-46FB-afd7-84d54b6a8ea7  I know it's long but a blue screen problems problem may take some time because there are so many different causes and we must find the right to try to identify the problem and then find a way to fix it.  One of the elements in his post is a method to prevent the system to reboot when a blue screen if you have the time to copy the information.  If the system is not turned off, but the screen does not stay up long, press prtscrn to copy the screen, then when the system boots to open Microsoft Paint, click on the Open box and click Ctrl + V to paste here you have plenty of time to copy the information and post it here so we can look at.  Do not forget to include EVERYTHING - it is unclear what could be of crucial importance.

    I repeat the procedures in the messages of the spirit in the link above - just follow them and answer back here with the results.  Want to make interim reports before the end of the stteps is perfectly OK - in fact, I suggest you do that so I can help guide you and maybe eliminate some of the steps because they will provide no information, that we don't already know (or will not solve the problem because of the information that we already know.

    A question, is your so hot PC anywhere on it that if you hold your hand on it, you will need to detach due to heat?  Overheating is a common cause of this type of problem.  Check that the fan doesn't work and all intake and exhaust ports are clean of dust, lint, or any other obstacle.  If this is a desktop computer, remove the cover and clean the entire interior to remove dust and lint and anything else that doesn't belong.  Make sure you do not loosen or detach the wiring or the accessories cards or RAM chips.  Don't bother if it's a laptop - it's too difficult to get inside to do a proper clean-up - just make sure that the fan is running and that the vents are clear.

    I hope this helps.  I look forward to your reply with your comments about what you did to the spirit and procedures for detailed information on the blue screen error.

    Good luck!

  • Just put update - now have several copies of Ps and Lr

    Just to update using the CC application.  I now have two copies of Lr and a copy of the Ps/cc and 2014 Ps/cc.  Should I uninstall one of the Lr copies?  Should I uninstall Ps/cc and keep Ps/cc 2014?

    WDKlein1000, Yes, you can uninstall older versions of Lr & PS CC that you already have the latest versions. So, no need to keep both, unless you want to, for various purposes.

  • I'm on disk check utility, how do I know when its done and how I know whether or not, I have a problem?

    I have Microsoft windows, I have a laptop, windows vista, I ran CCleaner, Speedy PC Pro, Uniblue registry Booster and security system from Microsoft that comes with this system. Now, whenever I run these or any program on my computer that has to do with safety or clean my computer or any fixing problem, I get a message that appears from the bar saying run disk utility to check off tasks? I know you probably want to know what the message says, but I can tell you that he keeps telling to run check disk utility.  the full message is "corrupt Registry Booster.exe file or directoryc:\program key is damaged and unreadable. Run the chkdsk utility.  What can I do to fix this?

    ... Initially re-read your error message.
    ...." Corrupt Registry Booster.exe file the file or the directoryc:\program

    data\microsoft\crypto\RSA\machine keys is damaged and unreadable.

    Your registry booster has damaged your system.

    Uninstall Speedy PC Pro and Uniblue Registry Booster. They is snake at best, disastrous at worst oil.

    As the CCleaner, it's ok as LONG as stay you away from registry option in the left column. Never use registry cleaner... period.
    Registry cleaner could be useful in the hands of accomplished computer experts.
    In the hands of regular users, it's a time bomb.

    You said... more security system from Microsoft that comes with this system.
    Only the security system that comes with the operating system is Windows Defender and Windows Firewall.
    This is not enough. Advise to install Microsoft Security Essentials...
    It's a free program and good enough for home use.
    A point to note: stop Windows Defender because he has his own Defender. 2 defenders running on the same computer will create conflicts. It's normal.

    How long disk check run...

    Depending on your system. More "junks" in the system, more time. In general, it takes some time. When it runs, don't interrupt, don't stop the computer.

    How do you know you have a problem or drive no check...

    The system will create a log of disk check. Here's how to access the Journal:

    Start > in the search box, type event viewer > Enter >
    the column on the left, click on the pointer before Windows logs
    Select (left-click) Applications, and then
    Click with the right button on Applications
    Select search
    in the 'search box', type chkdsk
    Click next
    leave the search window
    the middle column, you will see Wininit 1001, click
    right column, under the event 1001, Wininit, click Properties of the event
    A new window with the diskcheck newspaper.
    You can use the slider to display, or click the button copy and then paste it to the one that you want to use, such as Notepad or wordpad.
