My computer at work has 9 users on it.. When I run a spyware clean on my user or the admin user it usally finds entries in the Registry and deletes them out..

When this happens does that clean the registry for all users? If not how can I clean all users registries..

BTW: Each user is password protected.

It all depends on where the registry keys are stored.

If the keys are in HKEY_CURRENT_USER then you'll have to run the spyware for each user.

Otherwise you'll be fine.
