Only one system restore point

Mike,
Thanks for your reply. I said "I used the "ISSUE" tab and ticked "ActiveX
and class issues" and the "Application" or the "Obsolete Software" boxes
(not sure which).

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are doing here."

I'm referring about using CCleaner to clear two programs: Alcatel and Juno,
since I could not get rid of them without the above method.

BTW I found that "new key" has to do with Win 95,98,98SE, at:

SUMMARY
This article describes the HKEY_DYN_DATA registry key in Windows 95, Windows
98, and Windows 98 Second Edition.

Guess I could get rid of it, but wonder if it got there by malware?
Yesterday I ran all the anti-malware programs advocated by this group and
found nothing; also it doesnt show in a fresh HJT log.
Just wondered...
Paul

to make .CPY files. Dont know what all this means.

Each CPY file is an archived copy of a file that has either been amended
or deleted that a) has a file extension that is included in the set
monitored by the state manager, and b) is located in a monitored area.
For example files with a DOC extension are not monitored wherever located
whereas those with an EXE extension are monitored unless, for example,
located in the My Documents folder (or sub-folder).

Below is a list of keys as copied from Regedit:

KEYS USED:

These are the root keys in all Windows systems.

HKEY_DYN_DATA

The latter is new to me

As it is to myself.

I could not find an uninstall file

This is not unusual. Most hardware drivers don't come with uninstall
files.

I used the "ISSUE" tab and ticked "ActiveX and class issues" and the
"Application" or the "Obsolete Software" boxes (not sure which).

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are doing here.

Yours views as to what to do next if you care.

If system restore points are being created and files archived I wouldn't
do a thing.

Ping: Mike, Noel

As per suggestion by Noel, I left the beast alone, and had a look
just now: the beast has regurgitated a System Restore Point dated
6.43pm today...good news I hope. The C:\_RESTORE\TEMP, has started
to make .CPY files. Dont know what all this means.

Below is a list of keys as copied from Regedit:

KEYS USED:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_USERS
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

HKEY_DYN_DATA

The latter is new to me, think it came when I dummed the Alcatel
Modem and the JUNO programs. I could not find an uninstall file, so
I used the "ISSUE" tab and ticked "ActiveX and class issues" and the
"Application" or the "Obsolete Software" boxes (not sure which).

Yours views as to what to do next if you care.
Regards, and sorry to be a pain in the neck, Paul

I guessed as much but Paul needed to explains what he's doing and using
which I see he has now done.
