Well there are some security softwares that can disable WMP from being able to use the Internet at all by disabling it's features. You don't by any chance have any such software installed that's blocking it do you?

Those can be manually removed by right clicking them and selecting Remove, you'll of course have to run a registry cleaner after removing them such as CCleaner's Issues scanner. If you've ever used a free online virus scanner service they usually place their files in there and leave it up to the user to find and delete them if they never use the free service again. Those that you can leave in there that are useful for Windows are: * Java Runtime Environment * MUWebControl Class - (required to use Microsoft Update website) * Shockwave Flash Object * Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool - (required to download software and updates from Microsoft)

There's no need to apologize! You haven't inconvenienced or disturbed me at all! You came here for help and that's what I tried to do. If it wasn't me who tried to help you one of the other forum members surely would have.

I honestly don't know why after you've already fully uninstalled EZAV and with no files or registry keys left over from it why it would reappear in the Cleaner portion of CCleaner.

It should still be good in 2008, however even two year old customized to the brim systems like mine have what is now considered an ancient graphics card when compared to what's new.

Ok, now I understand what you're talking about. All you have to do is via a right click manually delete the EZAV reference located in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\CCleaner If it returns in there and you don't have EZAV installed you can ignore it.

True text editors don't reveal anything useful at all. However a hexview like this one via IrfanView does show something, although I don't know how useful it is:

SOPHOS and Symantec are also having to deal with the new malware that's using the Sony Rootkit as a template. I just knew this was going to happen!

I figured you didn't write it with caps locked, your other posts would suggest you don't do that. Anyways, I find all caps too difficult to read therefore I just ignore anything with several sentences and paragraphs that are all caps.

Can you post a screenshot (.png, .gif, or .jpg) of what you're talking about? An image would be most helpful since I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about now. I had originally thought it was a name displayed in the Uninstall section you were referring to.

Thousands sounds like an exaggeration. You're lucky that it hasn't caused you any problems that are noticable.

This should answer it at the bottom of the page it states: Download MS VB6 Runtime from Microsoft here.

I don't know what to tell you. You could contact the program author to see if there's any files or specific file version that the program needs to run.

You don't have to format your machine, or uninstall and reinstall CCleaner to remove a left-over uninstall name. In CCleaner's Tools->Uninstall simply use the Delete Entry button to remove it from the list.

RegSeeker is dangerous if you don't have a rather large exlude.ini file for things it should obviously ignore.

Hence the reason to wait a year or two before buying a PS3. I don't know what the hell Sony management has been smoking the last few weeks. I'm wondering who is leading them into hole which they may never get out of, that nobody will probably through them a rope to climb out since a shovel and some dirt to bury them is starting to sound more like a good ideal.

It's funny I was watching some scientific program on t.v. and noticed that some enhanced document they showed had three triangle shaped yellow dots on it. Had it not been for this thread I would've just thought it was some paper blemish, and not a tracking system.

I'm not surprised that CCleaner doesn't offer that hence if you open Opera's Cookies4.dat file you see no listings of sites, etc., it looks like some encrypted data. How would CCleaner deal with this?

I came to the conclusion a long time ago that CCleaner has the only safe registry cleaner in any system maintenance utility I've ever tried!

The problem with Super Win's RegVac and many other registry cleaners is you have to know what to let them remove or you run the risk of messing up your registry. With CCleaner you get a safe registry cleaner via the Issues tab that you don't have to inspect what will be removed.

Make sure you have that file installed in: C:\WINDOWS\system32 If you don't have it you can download it from any site you wish via this Google search, reboot after installing it. If it still doesn't work you "may" need to register the file by clicking Start->Run and type in: regsvr32 "%windir%\system32\iphlpapi.dll" You "may" have to reboot after registering it.

Make sure none of this is still on the system (you may have to enable hidden file view to see or search for them): If none of those files including unvet32.exe are on your system it would mean that the uninstall was successful. If you're seeing a reference to EZAV in CCleaner's Tools->Uninstall it may just be an orphaned left-over that the uninstaller for some reason didn't or couldn't remove. Open the Control Panel's Add or Remove Programs feature and then run the uninstaller from there, it may offer to remove it if the program is already uninstalled. If it can't remove the reference you can delete it from the list in CCleaner's Tools->Uninstall.

It could be many things, however those that come to mind are: 1. Spyware infection. Under most circumstances IE really shouldn't lock up, however if there's a spyware infection that messes with IE it can become very unstable -- the same goes for other web browsers that spyware can infect as well. 2. Some toolbar, or BHO that's making IE unstable. You can see and even disable BHO's that are installed in IE by using: Internet Options->Programs->Manage Add-ons 3. You many need to run IE's maintenance tools: Delete Cookies, Delete Files, and Clear History. Then run CCleaner so that it can mark the index.dat files for deletion on the next system restart. --- You can download a third-party freeware browser that isn't easily infected by spyware such as Opera, Mozilla Firefox, or Mozilla Suite.

CCleaner should but we are afterall talking about Internet Explorer which can be finicky about letting files be removed from it's cache. If her system has ever crashed with IE open there could be files stuck in the cache that are difficult to remove.
