Could you please clarify <<regcure scan>>? I think I can guess what it is
but I need to be sure.

What prompted to scan?

Regards.

You installed a "registry cleaner/optimizer" which is never recommended
by professional techs. If RegCure has an Undo feature, use it. Then
uninstall it. Registry cleaners do more harm than good and should only
be used by people who know what they're doing, which makes a
third-party registry cleaner unnecessary anyway.

If there is no Undo feature, then uninstall RegCure from Add/Remove
programs and then do a System Restore to a date before you installed
it.

Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore
"Restore my computer to an earlier time"

Then it would be smart to scan your computer for malware since many of
these so-called "optimizers" are nothing more than malware themselves.

Here is a link to what sort of maintenance you should be doing on a
regular basis in XP:

If you need more help after you've tried these things, post back to this
