Ran ad-aware 2007 and it found Registry Smart marked as critical with the following

C:\System Volume Information|_restore ( lots number/letters)
C:\WINDOWS\Tasks\RegistrySmart Scheduled Scan.job
C:\documents and setings\iQon\Application data\RegistrySmart

do I ignore or delete ?

Don't really remember installing RegistrySmart although I there is Registrysmart log from around the time I was having PC and AOL problems so I might have done.

Can't find RegisrySmart in add/remove programs list.

    dump it, it's probably doing you no harm, but no good either

    Thanks, just doing the remove option through adaware is sufficient ?
