If im not mistaken the errors where you get "... error at ...." are reg.

Sorry, about the millionth post, but there doesnt appear to be an edit post button.

I'm wondering what the following programs are & if they should be uninstalled, and best method of doing so (ie; whether control/Add-Remove OR internal uninstall):

Cleaner 5 EZ
Cult 3D ActiveX Player
Cult 3D Designer
DKLM
DKSV
Download Accelerator Plus
FREE Equation Illustrator Editor version 1.7.3.0 (I know what it is & have used, but not sure if its any good, or if there are safer & better apps that do the same thing)
General 4.5b
GPSoftware Directory Opus
Graph
iPodder 2.0.5 (dont have an ipod)
MSN Music Assistant
MSXML4 Parser
MUSICMATCH Jukebox
Shockwave
Speed Demons
Werkkzeug1
Ad-aware 6 Personal (I have had very bad experience with this one)
Ai Picture Explorer v7
Anvil Studio

Ad-Aware 6 is an old version, It is ad-Aware SE (second edition)

As for the other programs you mention its up to you . im not familur with those, basicly uninstall what you dont use, not including updates and windows tools such as MSXML4 Parser.

The item's you mention in the SpyBot results are mostly just cookies, fix them.

Yes, I realise that the ones refering to windows are fine (the you replied to was from another thread, from which I qouted myself)

When did I use it? As a basic user, isnt it auto set up by spybot?

[LonnyRJones]

Curious why you would want to restore what spybot has removed ?

Im unsure of why the errors, let us know if you see them again

I suggest you turn tea timer back OFF and leave it off untill you read more about it, It is not enabled by default when we install SpyBot.
