Weird Registry Cleaner
by blodger14 » Tue Nov 21, 2006 6:21 pm
has anyone heard of a registry cleaner called "Ultimate Cleaner"
it seems a bit dodgy because everytime i log on it tells me how many registry problems i have, and it seems to have installed itself.
its not like a usual virus popup as it has an installed directory and its also in my start menu?
help is greatly appreciated thanks!

Ya, that comes from a drive-by active-x adware install. Grab Spybot S @ D, install, update and run in safe mode. Items marked in red should be removed.
