New to the world of Spybot

[Circlip]

Hello to you all,
Thought i`d dip my toe in and see if I can make sense of why my PC has been behaving very strange receintly.
I use Avast Home Edition and a friend came round and put System Mechanic on from a CD for a simple way to a clean my PC.

Thing is, being a complete numpty as to why I could not get on-line over the past 2 weeks, how ever I tried . I would be sitting here with Windows Internet Explorer saying Cannot Connect to the Internet.

It came as a shock this morning to just switch on and every thing seems to be OK.

If I ever got on-line over the last week or so I asked through one of my forums (motorcycles) whats going on with my PC and one reply was to try here and download something, but which do I download ???

This will be my first question of many questions, though will I understand what to do with your answers.

Thanks in advance, Circlip.

Hello Circlip,

Did you use the registry cleaner? Registry Cleaners, not recommended

The subject of your topic is "New to the world of Spybot", so I'm guessing Spybot-S&D?
