Clean It Time

Alright here is the problem. I had been using G Data Antivirenkit 2006 for a while now but then I saw that Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0 came out, so I decided to check it out. I uninstalled the G Data Antivirenkit and started to install Kaspersky. But in the beginning of the process it kept saying me that there is still G Data in the registry somewhere. Ive looked and looked, deleted anything I found using regedit but still Im getting the error.

I dont have a fresh copy of the setup file (for G Data) either.
So Im guessing the only solution for me is to either find a way to fool Kaspersky install, make it not look for the already installed products,
or completely remove this G Data Antivirenkit from the registry.
Where would that information be in the registry?
Where does Kaspersky look and say that I have already a firewall install.

Trying to install in Safe Mode doesnt work.

Please help.
Thanks.
still nothing…

Unfortunately the windows installer cleanup didnt find the program Im trying to remove.

I currently have no antivirus/firewall on my system.

The registry cleaners dont find anything.

Isnt there a manual way to remove it from the registry. I tried searching regedit for "G Data" and "Antivirenkit", found several entries and deleted them all but still the same thing.

Its so annoying.

Any other ideas?

Usually there are 2 ways to solve that…
First one is reinstall the corrupted program and uninstall it

and the second is find programs that are called registry cleaners, that delete unused registry keys of uninstalled programs

There are many free out there, so just google "registry cleaner"
and it will remove unused uninstalled keys…

I use TuneUp Utilities 2007 and has registry cleaner but it is not a freeware… It should have a trial version though

I actually uninstalled these programs and they still appear in the startup tab of the sys config utility. plz suggest a way to remove them.

"To get rid of the extra entries you must edit the registry.

Start regedit (Start->Run and type REGEDIT, then press OK).

Browse to HKLM*\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder

Delete any items listed in there that you no longer want shown unchecked in MSConfig

*HKLM refers to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"

That said, google ‘clean msconfig’ or somesuch and check out the different suggestions on this. It’s very simple but some peeps are not comfy in the registry. Be careful and you’re alright.

From the things I know, you will find 2 free registry cleaner on the market. Kingsoft PC Doctor and CCleaner. Both are completely free. Try Google for download.

Kingsoft PC Doctor is definitely a great free registry scanning and cleaning utility that are useful to strengthen the defense of your computer against malware, apart from being a very good system cleaner and optimizer. Definitely a keeper.

Hello! I would like to start a mobile computer repair business in California.

Is there any California law that states I have to have a certification to do such work?

I know I have to register the company, but what do I do after that?

Thanks.

There are currently over a billion websites on the Internet. Are you ready to join the ranks? If you answered in the affirmative, then you’ve got a few decisions in front of you. Ok, you’ve got a ton of decisions and you won’t want to make the wrong ones because it can cost you money and time. In this day and age, those commodities are just too valuable, so let’s look at what’s in store for you about web hosting.

The first thing is your domain name. How will you choose it? It’s 2006; the Internet has existed for about 10 years now as a mainstream rendezvous. That means that most of the basic words are taken. Your best bet is to combine words, use hyphens or make up your own word like google, wikipedia and half-a-million others. You can search on a web host’s page to find your domain name. You can try any name you think up about 5 times per day. Some people would otherwise sit there all day, trying names and buying up anything they could think of. Then, when you come knocking on their door to buy the name you came up with, the price has doubled, tripled or worse. You should be able to get your name for free as part of a package from a web host or sometimes sites like Yahoo! offer $2.99 for a year or about $19.99 from a domain registry company.

Where Will You Live?
So you’ve got your name and now you need a place to park it. A web hosting company is basically like a landlord. They say, we’ve got this much space, these utilities are included and you can hang your sign (domain name) out front. You’re probably going to have to do some research as to who has the best offers, but no matter who you decide on, the one thing that should be included is 99.99% up-time. That means your site won’t crash 99.99% of the time and almost every host can match that guarantee. So if you don’t see it, move along. There are some other major issues you’ll need to look at in your web hosting company.

Spot Checking.
First is the refund policy. If you don’t see it, look for it. If you can’t find it, ask them about it, especially if you like everything else you see or if what they offer sounds too good to be true. You should have 30 days to decide.

You should also see some offer of technical support. Again, it’s 2006. Consumers are more in control today than ever. They can find out the competitor’s price by spending 5 minutes on the phone or 2 minutes online. So if you don’t see an offer of technical support, just say ‘no’. You may want to call the number or write them before you sign up and ask them a few questions. It’s a great way to test their customer service.

The last basic thing you should remember to look for is that you own your domain name, not the web hosting company. Your domain name is yours. There usually isn’t a problem with this, but if there is a problem, it can be a big problem. Imagine the web-hosting company saying they own your domain name. that’s a mess you wouldn’t want to get involved in.

All it really takes is some mild effort on your part. There are unbiased places where you can compare a few different web hosting companies. Ask them questions. Find out who treats you the best and who is an established provider. You’ll save yourself a lot of headaches in the future if you put in a bit of work now. Good Luck.

I "own" a computer repair company in Maryland (www.pcdrs.org), but I have yet to register my business so that people can write checks to the business name and not me personally.
What type of forms should I register for a computer services company?
Step by step instructions would be helpful.
I’m new to all of this, and don’t have a good grasp of business, taxes, forms ,etc.

For legal protection you should form an LLC or s-corporation. Another option is a c-corporation, but that’s usually reserved for larger businesses.

You can register online through your state’s website. It will cost mabe $100-$200, depending upon the state. Go to the state’s official website and click the BUSINESS link. All the forms, etc. you need will be available on the site.

If you still need face-to-face information about this, go visit your local SCORE (www.score.org) or Small Business Development Center office (google to find the office nearest you). They both provide this advice for free.

Google the term slow computer or improve computer performance and what do you get most of the time? Fix your Windows Registry with this fantastic new Registry Optimizer and it’ll run like new.

It is my experience that repairing the registry only, serves little to speed up the PC and in numerous cases I could not see any difference in speed.  It was still taking, what appeared like forever and a day, to boot and it was still freezing every now and then.

There are several reasons why a computer will be slowing down: files become disordered, unnecessary software fills up useful space, there are too many files not being used anymore, the Windows registry is overflowing with rubbish or you have a computer trying to load all the applications installed on it at startup.

A sudden slowdown and instability might be caused by a malicious program you picked up on an internet surfing expedition. The threat of malware infections to your computer is ever present and

if you surf the net without updated anti-malware programs, you can be sure you’ll pick up something dangerous sooner or later.

Windows’ has some utilities like Disk Cleanup, Check Disk and the Windows Disk Defragment which Microsoft tells you to use on a regular basis, but it definitely does not do a thorough job to keep your PC from losing performance and stability.

In our print and sign shop we run graphic design programs and large format printing programs. When working with these exceptionally large files, you need all the speed you can get as well as steadiness, which means stopping freeze-ups and system failures.

Several cleaning and tune-up products are needed to keep your computer’s performance and stability up to scratch. Except for the ever present registry optimizer, you need utilities that can do

much more, like disk cleaning, disk defragging, registry cleaning, virus, worm, trojan and malware removal and clearing useless information and files as well as tweaking the system to get it lightning fast and steady as a rock.

To really speed up your PC you need to:
– Remove unused applications.
– Clean your browser’s history, temp data and your Favorite or Bookmark list.
– Optimize the Windows Registry
– Scan for and remove threats like viruses, malware etc.
– Make the boot process considerably faster.
– Kill all those superfluous startup applications.
– Free your PC’s memory whenever possible.
– Schedule your cleanup programs to run automatically.
– Place all your data files together in one easy to use location.
– Defrag and organize your disks so that your most used files are in the fast lane.
– Optimize, tune and tweak your PC for optimal speed and stability.

I have researched and tested not less than 30 programs, utilities and methods over a period of several months, to get top performance from our PC’s without any hang-ups or system crashes.

There are 17 products I recommend, each of which is designed to do a certain task on the PC. We use 11 programs and utilities on a regular basis to keep our PC’s ship shape. It seems as if Windows is on steroids.

In my next article we’ll have a look at the seriousness of guarding your computer from viruses and malware.

If your PC is already too slow for it’s own good and you are already losing profits and valuable time you could’ve spent with your family, I suggest you have a look at How to Fix Your Slow Computer at http://slowcomputerfix.tmmarketing.co.za which addresses all the issues mentioned above and is a detailed, step by step tutorial, on which I spent months of research and testing, for improving your PC’s performance and thereby saving you valuable time and money.

my pc boots to windows very quickly, but windows itself is starting to get a tad bit clunky while it loads all its startup programs.

what’s a good XP utility to monitor all windows startup activity (registry, etc…)?

answers based on experience only, please. i can do my own google searches, thx.

start/run msconfig, disable any non-important programs.
Also look at start/programs/startup and remove everything you need from it.

Once it’s up, go into the task manager and look at processes. Any that are being run by ‘you’ rather than ‘system’ can general be prevented from starting up.

I keep getting pop-ups telling my register is damaged and needs repaired on Windows XP. When I try any of the sites, they end up being pay sites.

I would first install a good virus scan and spyware removal software. free.grisoft.com has avg and spybot.com is also free. Run these and see if the popups go away. then install either the google or yahoo toolbar from their respective3 sites and you won’t get any more pop-ups. Chances are your registry is fine, but if it is truly damamged, you will need to reinstall xp and do the repair current installation. just put the install cd in the drive and reboot then follow the directions. Cleaning does not repair a damaged registry, just removes unused and unwanted items. Using this type of program is usually what causes damage to the registry in the first place, Specially if your not sure what you are doing.
