Yes, both restore points were done prior to the date of Installing the
Uniblue program.

I have Malywarebytes' Anti-Malware already, ran it and no problems
were found.

Was the restore point dated before installing Registry Booster 2009?

What errors, if any, are appearing in Event Viewer?

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and
double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which
appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and close
Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the
body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting
from Event Viewer.

If you want to pursue Malware try malwarebytes.

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
1.32 -freeware (if you upgrade you pay).
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

Run Malwarebytes' in safe mode and turn off your current anti-virus
before you do to avoid a conflict. Disregard the invitation on the
web site regarding the Registry Optimiser -a Registry Optimiser is
not a helpful utility.

ABSOLUTELY! The first think i did was uninstall the program and
then, like I stated I restrored the computer to an earlier date to
try to fix the registry.

Any more "advanced" suggestions?

Have you tried the simple remedy of uninstalling Registry Booster
2009?

This type of programme is not good for your computer as David has
said.

I am running OS Win XP w/IE8. I recevied an email from WinZip
(which I recevied because i own a license) re: this Registry
Booster 2009 program. Thought I would try it--thought it was safe
because it came from WinZip. Downloaded free version and now have
a virus that i can not find which seems to live in every program I
use. Spybot and AVG does not recognize it as a virus. What the
virus does is types in the doucment i have open or in the search
box if i am on the internet, opens a new menu, logs me off then
back on, etc. (it is actually a little scary -- like my computer
has someone living in side of it)

I created a back up of my registry BEFORE downloading the program.
I restored my computer 2x; 1st to this date then to another random
one at least a week ago and still no help.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance for any information you can give me.
