    Hi,

    Can you tell us what sort of Antivirus, malware protection program is installed on your computer.

    Also, you may want to consider what is mentioned here:
    Registry Cleaners: Digital Snake Oil | Malwarebytes Labs
    I only have MS Windows Defender installed but have a few stand alone apps that I run whenever I suspect something.

    As for Registry Cleaners and consorts, sure there's a lot of junk out there.
    I have my reasons to keep the registry junk free. It's a database after all, no need to fill it with unnecessary entries.
    Whether or not there's any benefit to it is a matter of opinion.

    Cheers,

    Yep, even MS does not support their use:

    But to each his/her own...:)

    They used to though. Guess too many people messed up their system because they had no clue what they were doing.

    Anyhow, this has been discussed here a couple of times :

    Registry Cleaning

    ntuser.rhk seem to record the history of the user logon and every search dun over the internet.

    I used every anti-virus tool, junk ware, adware tool not one can detect it as a computer virus or Trojan, worm, back door etc.

    Too me not a virus but part of Metadata collection tool all the ISP providers are required to record for future police request and investigations.
