Registry cleaner

dixie_dean_2

The first scan has removed a lot of "dead wood". Doing registry now. How did the numbvers for internet speed test look?

dixie_dean_2

after scan for issues do i leave all issues ticked then fix selected issues?

Cheers yet again to all who have helped.

danthemoneysavingman

yes, leave all ticked and fix all

danthemoneysavingman

you may want to go to the third tab (tools) and look at startup programs... there can be many things therein that lead to performance issues, or are just unnecessary... but dont disable blindly, post for help / use hijackthis

I would suggest disabling the following from your provided list:

ehTray.exe C:\Windows\ehome\ehTray.exe
Sidebar C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe /autoRun
swg "C:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier\GoogleToolbarNo tifier.exe"
Adobe Reader Speed Launcher "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Reader_sl.exe"

Google Desktop Search "C:\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktop.exe" /startup
HotKeysCmds C:\Windows\system32\hkcmd.exe
IgfxTray C:\Windows\system32\igfxtray.exe
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe" /starttray
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (reboot) "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe" /runcleanupscript
Persistence C:\Windows\system32\igfxpers.exe
Picasa Media Detector C:\Program Files\Picasa2\PicasaMediaDetector.exe
topi C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\Toshiba Online Product Information\topi.exe -startup
Toshiba Registration C:\Program Files\Toshiba\Registration\ToshibaRegistration.exe
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe /install /silent
Exif Launcher 2.lnk C:\Program Files\FinePixViewer\QuickDCF2.exe
TRDCReminder.lnk C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TRDCReminder\TRDCReminder.exe

unless of course you use the sidebar. and if you haven't restarted since installing malwarebytes anti-malware, then restart and check again - you don't need anything from MBAM auto-starting in my experience

I'd get rid of those.

basically, the only thing you should need to leave enabled in that startup list is the avast entry, for your antivirus. Everything else can be safely disabled...this will make a difference, and there'll probably be more in other areas (Like services.msc) that can be disabled as well
