A couple of nasties!

[ukwasp]

Sidefinder and DyFuCA are a couple of items which apparently

are lurking on my PC. Other than doing it manually, which is?

a bit too clever for me, how do I shift them?

Is there likely to be a freebie on-line I can download?

[Tarun]

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.

The answer was within Spybot. Activate ?Tools? then ?View Report?,

and the report holds the clue to the Registration to be amended.

To get to the Registration entries go to ?Start/Run? and enter ?regedit?.

The part to be deleted is the last bit of the entry, and only this last part.

Skybot will show, for example, the entry as: HKEY_USERS, default, software,

microsoft, current version, etc, etc, etc. The last etc could be a few random

letters or a number with a lot of digits. This is the thing to be deleted and

only this!

Re-scan your PC and whatever you had in ?red? as item/s needing attention

will have disappeared.

System is completely clean. All of these are optional and should result in better pc performance and more free RAM.

You may also wish to look into Real Alternative instead of RealPlayer.

[ukwasp]

If you want you can still post a HijackThis log and have it cleaned.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Many thanks for your suggestion as to what should be deleted, which

I have done, including replacing Real Player with Real Alternative.

It?s a delight to now know that my system is ?clean?.
