Howdy, I think I have the bluescreen virus or whatever. My computer will not start up correctly. It blinks out, and takes about 10 to 15 min to start up. I have tried CCleaner, reg cure, spyware doctor, advance registry optimizer, registry patrol3.0 and klez removal, none work. Any help out there?
You seem to have used a lot of registry cleaner type software, sometimes this can make problems worse.
Does it seem to run normally once it gets started?
Do you get any error messages at all on the screen?
Xp or Vista?

Messed up Registry, even broken registry
Try system restore or do you use ERUNT to backup your registry ?
if failed, try 'Last Known Good Configuration' at booting.
I suggest, throw out RegCure, Registry Patrol and AdvancedRegistryOptimizer ( i'm sure this is caused by them).
Keep CCleaner and replace Spyware Doctor to SuperAntispyware.
the rest, its up to you.

It doesn't sound like a virus thats the Microsoft Blue Screen Of Death. What you need to do is start the computer up in Safe Mode. Now we are assuming your running either WinXP or Vista so as its starting up keep dabbing the F8 key every second unitl you see the boot menu. If your using Win98/ME then you just keep the Ctrl key pressed while its booting. (I don't know why they didn't adopt this system on the later Windows?) Then use the cursor keys to highlight Safe Mode and press enter. Once it up and running in Safe Mode you could always do a full drive scan for a virus if you suspect one.
Then you can do a System Restore back 1 day then it will restart. If 1 day doesn't work try 2 days or more until it starts up correctly. Start/Programs/Accesseries/System Tools/System Restore.
As suggested you too many Registry checkers on your system, dump them apart from CC as thats only a mild one which can easily be reversed.
