I installed a trial spyware program to try to clean up my
computer and it got all but a few attackers out of my
system. The program listed the few that it couldn't
remove and the location of the spyware files. I was
thinking that I could finish cleaning the files manually
through the registry editor since the program gave me the
exact locations. Foolishly I started deleting keys while
I was half asleep and end result I ended up deleting my
recycle bin. Q: Is there an easy way to fix this or am I
going to have to do a Windows repair? (The back-up of my
registry is kind of out dated, will this be an option?)
Thanx for any input
