Per your first paragraph, CCleaner is the only program you need to clean up your computer. There is a link to them in my Signature. I assure you, it wouldn't be there if I didn't use it myself. Wizard's truth. :)

You have 3 "Microsoft® Windows® Operating System" entries, the one that isn't referencing regsvr32 is probably your gadget platform, if you move the slider over it will show the path.
Nothing wrong with trying to help, Novice or otherwise. :)
What is your point Gandalf?
Yikes! Do not arbitrarily delete all the pink entries you see in Autoruns.
Pink entries in Autoruns indicate software without a verified digital signature. This does NOT mean it's malicious or unnecessary software. It's usually 3rd party software. It might be older software. It might be a utility from a vendor who just never got it signed. (Or it may be malicious, but you can only decide by inspection)
You need to inspect each entry and make an individual choice. I use CrashPlan for backups. I have 7-zip installed. Both of these include some unverified "pink" entries. fyi... Interestingly, even some ATI drivers appear to be unsigned
Autoruns gets it wrong from time to time.
See this post where an older version of autoruns parsed a string incorrectly:
ie4uinit.exe missing after using Autorun, I have IE11, not 10
The latest version of autoruns (V11.70) parses the sting being discussed in that post in a different manner, but it still gets it wrong. Autoruns does not find the file because the file is a hard link. If you delete the yellow rows in autorun, you might be deleting some registry keys that should remain.
:-(
I checked it with auto run nothing in the entries that have AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA or under the HKLM key either. what can we try next?
I ran Autorun there are no entries with AAAAAAAA under the everyone tab what can we try next. thanks
That's a very strange entry in msconfig. Here's an idea we can try... Let's change the startup and compare registry snapshots before/after the change. (There will be registry changes in any case just because Windows is running. But (i believe) an msconfig service change should stand out among the rest)
- Download RegShot. Run either the 32- or 64 bit Unicode version depending if your're 32- or 64-bit Windows
- Open msconfig with admin privileges
- Run Regshot. Click Shot1 button
- Change the check box state for the AAAAAA service Startup entry in msconfig (check or uncheck it as is the case, to change it). Click in msconfig Apply
- Back in RegShot, click Shot2. When it's done click Compare
- Save a copy of the text file it creates and attach to next post
thanks CG that makes sense, enable it then try it again Doh!
