[QUOTE="Freud2004, post: 902749, member: 88121"] [I][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]This is my opinion, and I guess with one will recommend different things:[/COLOR][/I] 1.

[COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]Give an opportunity to Emergency Kit or HitmanPro, they are free and from time to time you run them just to make sure that all is ok.[/COLOR] PS I'm not a fan of registry cleaning thing.
