Thanks. yes DD is Dear Daughter. And you are correct that CCleaner will not help with the spyware but giving her a User Account will. This is my first time creating a user account. I am surprised to see that when you run CCleaner from the admin account it does not clean the user account.

It seemed like every night my DD was getting spyware on her PC. After reading through several sites I created a user account for DD. I am running Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3. I am not a very technical user. I have 2 questions ... 1) When I created the user account CCleaner does not appear on her list of programs. Any idea why? Should I load it on the user account? 2) Is there a way to run CCleaner to clean the whole PC, admin+user accounts? or do I have to clean each account separately? Thanks for all your help.

I am not a very sophisticated PC user. I have been using the cleaner portion of cccleaner for a long time. I recently bough TrendMicro Internet security. It brought my macine to its knees. The removal process is flawed. Reading through online posts I had their tech support help me fix my registry. It has been a nightmare. The PC is back and working but it was suggested I look at my registry using cccleaner. When I scan for issues there are dozens ... all types. I am not blaming this all on TrendMicro but I would like to clean up the registry. Of course not being a pro PC user ... touching the registry at all makes me nervous. Is there some documentation I can read on the cccleaner registry options? What is something goes wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
