Malware is a type of malicious program that infects your system, causing adverse effects such as slowing or broken programs, or logging your personal information as you type it. One way malware can affect your system is by modifying or creating entries to your system’s registry, which is basically the database for all operations on your computer. While most malware can be removed using a free antispyware or virus program, it is also helpful to check the registry itself for false entries. “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion” For example, double click “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,” then double click “SOFTWARE,” then double-click each folder until you get to the “CurrentVersion” directory.
