When I run Issues in CCleaner, I get a columns marked Problems, Data and Registry Key. I don't understand what the problem is and after I run the cleaner, the next time I get the same problems. So can someone explain, please?

I think that will be the best bet, only thing is I will have to go visit them again soon to find out the model number. Might do it tomorrow actually, there is a car for sale near them that i fancy, that is a subject for a totally different forum though.
Should be on the bottom of the mouse. That's all you need. It worked for my Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 (USB & PS/2)

I bought a second hand computer for my parents today, it's not a brilliant spec but a lot better than what they had.
Only trouble is, it came with a Logitech scroll wheel mouse, but the scroll wheel is not working, the buttons work fine though.
It is not the mouse that should have been with the system, and has a usb plug on it which is plugging in to a ps2 socket with an adaptor.
I realise it could be a faulty mouse, but could it also be that I need to get a driver for it, I checked the logitech website, hoping to find a generic driver, but could not find one, or do I just need to change a setting in windows.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Check the logitech site for the model, etc. If there's a name that's similar it should still work.

CCleaner is great on XP but it will not run on Windows SE. This is the same computer just booted up on SE. Scan freezes about 2/3 way through. Cannot get out of it, entire system is frozen, have to reboot. I killed every process except for the necessary Windows and tried it, same result. Any suggestions??
Try unticking things under the Applications and Windows tab. Do one tab first and see if you can narrow it down.

I wouldn't use Avant Browser. Based off IE and literally uses parts of it (Read their FAQ).
Inno Setup is a free installer for Windows programs. First introduced in 1997, Inno Setup today rivals and even surpasses many commercial installers in feature set and stability. Even used by NASA and Microsoft. The best free installer out there. (And WAY better than the Nullsoft Installer)
ISTool helps you create scripts for Jordan Russell's Inno Setup compiler. Inno Setup is a great compiler for very professional looking setups, and the only disadvantage is that you have to create fairly complex scripts by hand.
This is where ISTool comes in. With this application you can edit these scripts in a visual environment, and creating these setup scripts becomes much easier.

At the above link, there is a detailed instruction of how to restore a computer to working faster. In Step 7, it says to turn off System Restore prior to going into Safe Mode to run the various programs she has recommended, which is a similar process as the one at PC Maintenance. Should I do this?
It is recommended. The PC Maintence guide is a tad outdated and is being changed over to a php version for a better site.

Netscape 8 May Give Green Light to Spyware
A new version of the Netscape Web browser is being criticized by spyware experts for failing to notify Web surfers when they're visiting Web sites that distribute the noxious monitoring programs.
Netscape 8's Trust Rating System, which warns users about insecure Web sites, gives a "green light" to Web sites that download spyware onto users' machines, according to Ben Edelman, a student at Harvard University Law School and an expert on spyware software.
An AOL spokesman on Wednesday denied that the new browser gives a pass to the questionable sites, but evidence viewed by eWEEK magazine suggests otherwise.
The critiques are the latest bump in the road for Netscape 8, which was released this month. It was patched almost immediately to cover a host of known holes in its code, which is based on the popular Firefox browser, and to fix a conflict with Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser.
America Online Inc. touted Netscape's advanced security features when it released the program May 19. The new browser was "designed for the millions of online users who are searching for a safer and better browser," a company news release said.
The Trust Ratings feature is a key part of the browser's security story. According to AOL, if a user visits a Web site using Netscape 8.0, the browser automatically checks to see whether the site is on a blacklist of suspected virus, scam or spyware sites, or on a "white list" of 150,000 Web sites deemed acceptable by digital certificate authority VeriSign Inc. and by TRUSTe, a nonprofit online privacy monitoring organization.
Spyware and adware distribution sites do not get "trusted" certification if they are on a list of sites maintained by anti-spyware vendor Aluria Software LLC, according to Andrew Weinstein, an AOL spokesman.
"If a company is on Aluria's list, it will not get the green, 'trusted' certification," Weinstein said.
"That is false," said Edelman, who provides screenshots of Netscape 8's "Trust Rating" System on his Web site.
The new browser gives a green "trusted" rating when it brings up www.hotbar.com, a Web site that distributes a program that adds graphical skins to Internet Explorer toolbars, in addition to a Hotbar toolbar and stealth monitoring software, Edelman claims.
A copy of the new browser downloaded and tested by eWEEK does confirm Edelman's claim: The green "trustworthy" symbol is displayed on the hotbar.com home page as well as on a page on the Hotbar site that attempts to download the software to users' machines.
A green "trusted" sign is also displayed on the download page at www.ABetterInternet.com, another Web site that downloads and installs monitoring software.
Hotbar and ABetterInternet are also listed as spyware on Aluria's Web site, casting doubt on AOL's claims that any companies on Aluria's list are blocked, too.
In theory, sites on Aluria's list should have a gray "unknown" or red "dangerous" sign, according to Weinstein.
Part of the problem with the rating system is its reliance on the work of partner organizations such as TRUSTe, whose assessments of trustworthiness are flawed, Edelman and others argue.
"If Netscape's list of trustworthy sites were perfect or even largely accurate, Netscape's new rating features could be of substantial assistance to users who don't otherwise know what sites to trust. But in fact Netscape has delegated its trust to partners whose trust endorsements are dubious at best," Edelman wrote in an article posted on his Web site.
For one thing, TRUSTe's list of trustworthy Web sites, which are allowed to display the TRUSTe seal, is a list of sites that adhere to that organization's strict information privacy practices. But the seal doesn't address the issue of software downloads, according to Fran Maier, executive director at TRUSTe.
"There are a lot of sites that download software. We can't say whether they're all spyware. It's just not clear to us," Maier said.
TRUSTe is aware of the concern about unauthorized downloads and spyware, Maier said, adding that there need to be clear industry standards about issues such as disclosure prior to installation and practices for installation and removal.
The organization is considering whether to develop a separate program to set guidelines about what constitutes "spyware-free" Web sites, but it hasn't yet committed to such a program.
"It's an obvious area of consumer concern," Maier said.
TRUSTe also forbids sites to display the organization's seal on pages that download the software, though that policy appears to have been broken, at least by HotBar.com, which clearly displays the TRUSTe logo on the installation page.
AOL is reviewing a list of spyware sites that are on TRUSTe's list of certified Web sites, Weinstein said.
TRUSTe is also open to feedback from Internet users and will pull certification for sites that violate its policies, Maier said.
Laws about what is and isn't acceptable practice for placing software on someone else's computer are murky at both the state and federal levels. A federal anti-spyware law is making its way through Congress.
Spyware-specific laws aside, however, Edelman said many of the practices used by spyware vendors probably violate established trespass and contract law and are clearly unethical.
"Spyware companies are putting software on your computer ? to make money and without getting your consent. It's not about what the law requires; you can just look at it and feel like 'this isn't right,'" he said. ?

Tarun,
When I attempted to unzip the antimalware file, it says it is invalid or corrupt. Should I try redownloading it? I have Adaware, Spybot S & D and Microsoft Antispyware downloaded already. Please let me know if I should use what I already have or try again to get the file you have in the post. Thanks for your help!
I just checked the zip and it come back with zero errors. May have been a download fluke for you. Retry if you like.

Again thanks for the reply and the answers.
In fact I am using Firebird already but love spamihilator becaue of its results. I not tried the spam option in Firebird till now. Is it that good as spamihilator?
Today i will work on the list and see the result.
thanks again.
All I know is what I've read. That it works and it works well. I'm careful not to give out my real e-mail address or enter it anywhere I don't trust. So I quite literally never get spam.

First, download this Anti Malware Package, it contains everything you need to effectively clean your computer.
Next, refer to this PC Maintenance website, as it will tell you the settings you need and everything to effectively clean your computer. Then you can post your HijackThis log here.

I believe it will, many techs have done it. Even the infamous DjLizard.
