Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Dr. Indera,

Before you consider a Repair Install, you might want to consider
uninstalling SpyCatcher Express. I never even heard of it until your post.

You might want to read these from CastleCops...

SPYWARE IN SpyCatcher Express 2006 4.0.4 ? (Score: 1)

I would strongly recommend getting rid of SpyCatcher Express!

I would recommend any and all of the following free programs.

Download, install, run, update and run again. They are all
good, FREE utilities. Make sure you update every program, even if you
just downloaded it. You must have the latest updates. Without updates,
you have a gun without ammo. You also need to use more than one
anti-scumware program. One program will *not* catch everything.

1) SpywareBlaster
[[SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from
ever being installed.
The most important step you can take is to secure your system. And
SpywareBlaster is the most powerful protection program available.]]

4) Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner v1.13

Dr. Indera <dr.indera.bugoff@xxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
hi joe,

i just remembered that i created an image less than 24 hours before i
installed that spyware software.
should i just restore the winnt folder from the image?
the reason i ask is because i created and modified a lot of files since
the image was created
and have created/sent emails, which i don't want to over write.
please advise.
thank you.

I would suggest doing a repair install of Windows XP.

Good Luck

If you have a System Restore point for a date before you made the
changes, use System Restore.

hello,

in an effort to make sure that i don't have spyware on my computer, i
installed spycatcher express
(http://www.tenebril.com/consumer/spyware/spycatcher-express.php)
it said that i had 20 items that should be removed.
not thinking i removed them instead of quarantining them.
when i rebooted, i got the following 2 errors messages when i turn the
laptop on:

1. actskn43.ocx or one of its components is not correct or registered

2. crashrpt.dll is missing, corrupt or is the wrong version

i typed in actskn43.ocx in google and found the file, installed and
registered it because that's what the instructions said to do, so i
don't get that error anymore.
i found the crashrpt.dll file and copied it to winnt/system32
the instructions didn't say to register this file so i didn't

now when i boot, i get this error:
cannot find import dll may be missing, corrupt or wrong version
file crashrpt.dll function "AddFileEx" (error 6)

i went back and found import dll and copied it to winnt/system32
the instructions didn't say to register this file so i didn't

i still get the error

cannot find import dll may be missing, corrupt or wrong version
file crashrpt.dll function "AddFileEx" (error 6)

i'm stumped now and i don't want to make things worse then they
already are, so i'm turning to the experts for advise.
