in my registry on the startup, i accedentally deleted the reg key for sygate on the startup. can someone please check their registry and tell me what it is, thanks. (in case you're wondering how i accedently did that, its because i always have to delete the quicktime, which always appears on there when someone uses it, but i clicked on the wrong one)

SmcService C:\PROGRA~1\Sygate\SPF\Smc.exe -startgui Hint: Use HijackThis to disable and restore QuickTime safely. Takes 10 secs to disable or restore. Also keeps firewalls intact, lol.

thanks. you know, i think i downloaded hijaclthis, but i have so much crap on my computer that i dont use like spyware blaster. and im sure i dont even need hijack, im pretty good at fixing problems with the comp by myself. but again, thanks for the key ;)

HijackThis is a new breed of analytical tool for problem solving; some would say the quintessential tool. For you simply modifying the registry, it would be a quick safe method, and at same time lets you scan for problems. In a way it replaces msconfig completely and is a much useful application. /me wouold not be without spywareblaster: it stops stuff from even getting on the system, but hey, it's your pc! Enjoy. ciao, Ice

i just use spybot S&D, it has the same sort of function, and more than likely most of the things that spywareblaster block are also blocked by spybot.

hmmmm try a walkthrough of Javacools site; http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/index.html and then a stroll through; http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/ and http://www.merijn.org/index.html Nothing like learning from experts.

well i dont think i need either of them, but ill get them anyway because you supplied the links. thanks
