Answer 2

Yes, in some cases this is true.

Like the ALT.NET or ALTNET, you used to have to go into the registry hklm>Software and then look for ALTNET and right click it then permissions and then set the permissions for the user that you are on to full privs and then delete that from the registry.

But now a few programs (anti-spyware and anti-virus) remove this.

But nonetheless, stay out of the registry unless you KNOW what you are doing as taking one small thing out could render your OS useless.

Hope this helps

Answer 3

Don't take the hard way and screw up your whole computer. In the operation of your computer, working in the registry is equivalent to brain surgery on a human. One misstep and your computer is an expensive door stop.

Get virus removal software and save yourself some headaches.

Good Luck
