Always be careful when editing the registry! Go to Start, Run... and type in regedit Now check the following keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices If you have CCleaner, you may also be able to remove them using the Tools -> Startup Programs section of CCleaner.

Looks completely clean. Is HijackThis reporting the blank checkmarks? Also, do they display as the following: [x] (No information follows) If so, they are safe to remove/delete.

One Anti-Spyware utility alone simply will not cut it.

Use HijackThis and paste a log in the Malware Prevention forum.

Check this just so you know.

Yes it is. Just go there.

Deer Park Alpha 1.1. It's got a lot of problems still. I just tried it yesterday. Lots of java menus get centered and stuff.

I tend to recommend CWShredder, Spyware Blaster, Ad-Aware, Spybot, Microsoft Anti-Spyware, CCleaner, Firefox, Avast AntiVirus, and a good firewall be it Outpost Free, Windows XP SP2's Windows Firewall or ZoneAlarm. It's hard to stop infection altogether, but education is the best prevention. Using a computer is like safe sex. Know it, practice it, and learn from it.

I'm actually on v5 Pro and using a Classic skin I got from DeviantArt.

They changed it so you can't edit some posts after a certain amount of time. Check the Site/Issues forum, I believe. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=47512

Forget Halo. Forget Grand Theft Auto. Back in the day, there was only one definitive, a**-kicking, glorious game of violence. That game was Doom. The granddaddy of first-person-shooters, the one that started them all. As addictive as crack, but less wholesome. We cut classes, we quit bathing, we forgot about dating--all to wield the chainsaw and pump the shotgun. And the "BFG." Now, years after its heyday, "Doom" finally hits the big screen. From Universal Studios and director Andrzej Bartkowiak ("Cradle 2 the Grave," "Exit Wounds"), and starring The Rock and Karl Urban (Eomer from "The Lord of the Rings"), "Doom" intends to be a faithful adaptation of the classic game. "Really?" you might say. "When do they start shooting?" Heh. You never would guess it from the film's publicity--or lack thereof--but "Doom" has actually finished shooting. Universal has kept this puppy a veritable secret. No promotion. No trailers. No teasers. Not even a one-sheet. Bartkowiak has been filming in Prague, out of the limelight and out of the studio's crosshairs. In short, for a big-budget release, we know shockingly little. Until now. Earlier this year, I accepted Universal's invitation to visit the set of "Doom." I trekked out to snowy, gloomy, beautiful Prague, and had a chance to interview The Rock, Karl Urban, and all the key members of the special effects crew. In the coming months, we'll be sharing each of these interviews, plus a complete report on the set, the story, and the monsters. Some things, though, you should know right away: 1. The tone: There's nothing soft or watered-down about "Doom." In their own words, the makers of the film are going for a "Hard R." Excellent news for Doomers. 2. The set: Every set, every corridor, every weapon looks faithful to the game. The set is a maze of dark corridors, steel-dungeony-looking hallways that should be scary as hell. The arsenal of weapons includes several nods to the game, including, of course, the BFG. 3. The effects: Bartkowiak is using real models when possible, minimizing the employment of green screens. For instance, the monsters have real monster costumes--dark and creepy. The "Baron," in particular, looks like an "Aliens"-worthy creature. Much more on him later. 4. The story: The script is loosely based on the "Doom 3" videogame. Sometime in the future, John Grimm (Karl Oben), Sarge (The Rock), and a military -esque crew receive a distress call from a science lab on the remote planet Olduvai. (No, that's not a cologne.) They teleport to Olduvai. Once on Oldvuai, they're thrown into a maelstrom of dimly-lit hallways, monsters, and bloodshed. The setup might differ slightly from the game, but it's the same meat and potatoes. 5. The location: Don't worry. No part of "Doom" takes place in Prague. The sets are all indoors--as befits the brooding game--and have nothing to do with the Czech Republic. Who knows how this will play. But one thing is for certain: "Doom" has an edge. A gritty, R-rated, punch-you-in-the-jugular edge. Check back soon for the complete report. Source: Dark Horizons

Hm. I wonder what I'll need to do when I update my tech cd post. Edit: Shoulda checked first. Yay I can still edit it! All is well.

Nice report. Made it frontpage on my site just before I saw this post.

Check into System Restore Remover Pro.

XP Pro. Handles memory, devices, drivers, and everything better. Definitely better than XP Home.

Firefox, tweaked.

Well, now that explains your custom user title of "Laptop Power User".

That scene is actually in the movie. It's funny to see cause they're both roaring a lot.

second that <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I concur.

Ooh, a 16 month old and a misbehaving computer. Well, hopefully now it's one less headache. I'm actually considering adding the System Restore Remover Pro to my tech cd (which needs updating). I've been so busy fixing my site I've neglected it. Glad to hear everything is working well for you. Do post any other problems you may have, be it here or on my Lunarsoft site.
