My advice on registry editing, don’t touch it if you have to ask how to do it. The littlest mistake can take your computer down hard.
I would use spyware checkers and a virus scanner first, they do all the work for you.
But before you go into the registry I would suggest you try the following before doing that because you could do harm to your system if you are not experienced,
Update and use your own antivirus or download and update the avg free below and download the spyware doctor and update it,, then restart your computer (tap F-8 during startup) select safe mode and scan with both tools while in safe mode, This should find the problem so you can remove it;
Here is a free and very good antivirus tool called avg free,
Note; You should never use more than one antivirus on your computer at a time,
Use free Hijack this program to search for and remove suspicious things.
Unless you are 100% sure what you are doing, I recommend you DON’T edit your registry!
