Check if this is the cause of the missing options:





Go to Start =%26gt; Run and type in ';regedit'; {without the quotes}


Navigate to:





HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\鈥?entVersion\Uninstall


\%26lt;Program Name here%26gt;





Some don't have a recognizable name, just a long series of letters and


numbers, but look in the right-hand pane at DisplayName.





In the right-hand pane:





Check if these values exist, and if so,





Double-click on 'NoRemove' and set its value to 0


Double-click on 'NoModify' and set its value to 0

Clean Up Computer


===============


Download and run superantispyware. I was put onto this program because of an annoying popup (XP or Vista plus all OS preceding)

Superantispyware is a good program and remember to update it before scanning. A scan may take 45mins.





Note Superantispyware has powerful reset tools that will set stuff back to windows defaults.


To use these tools click preferences %26gt;repairs. This may be handy to reset IE URLS if you have annoying pop ups.





Also set up tick boxes that you want in the other tabs as you require.





afterwards clean up the registry with this

Run the full safety scanner, it takes a few seconds to install the scanning files but when you start the scan, it takes 2 hours or more. So once it starts to load x file of x you can leave the computer and go to bed etc.





Then at the end of the scan it asks you to set it running full time.





Think twice about setting it to run in the background as it could be another thing to slow you down. However, it may be worth while if you have no other security programs running.





Consider the following options:


I personally run Norton 360 which is full internet security and run superantispyware when I want to.





So if you don鈥檛 have a decent internet security program then perhaps run the superantispyware with your antivirus in the background.





If you sick of antivirus programs that don鈥檛 work perhaps run onecare full time and run superantispyware whenever.





Now you should be flying and Onecare has even set up a new system restore point for you.





Note onecare does other stuff as well. Click on the menus on the LHS column.
