Advice needed

Is they anyway to find out what changes to registry before installing it or making a copy of the changes so can do clean removal if needed?

just do not wish it to install any adaware etc so could check out the install prior to letting it make the changes.

    I am not at all techie so please help
    I am trying to unintall my old security suite in order to install a new one but it will not uninstall I get the screen telling me that the wizard is uninstalling and the red bars started moving but i only count six which is about a tenth of the way and then it stuck and won't move/uninstall. I have tried going into control panel add/remove programmes and trying pressing the uninstall instructions again but both tell me that another instance is already running and to try agin later but it has been over 2 hours now and nothing is happening
    I have even tried turing off the computer to try again but it won't let me turn off either via the computer or maiually at the tower itself - the only thing I can think is to turn off at the mains but I am afraid that I might damage/ crash the computer
    I tried e-mailing their tech support but have had no reply
    Can anyone suggest anything or advise if I should just run off at the mains but of course i still have the problem of needing to uninstall:mad::confused::eek:
    I am not a beige person:D

    Download http://www.revouninstaller.com/ .When downloaded double click Panda icon and follow on screen instructions. Are you using XP or Vista as you may have to stop Panda running at start up.

    Try it first.
