Mainly becuase i would prefer to find the problem and find a fix for it without having to format and lose everything, just seems a bit lazy to me.

I don't know about that, but sometimes a good format and reinstall is quicker, and is a guaranteed fix, for a while.

Yeah. Did I MENTION I still listen to Ella Fitzgerald? I've got a casket...

I think reformatting is a bit overkill in this situation, though. Quote

It was a general comment. I have seen some of these threads go on for weeks, when a reinstall would have fixed the problem in hours.  
lol but its up to the ownerThere's a lot to be said for both cleaning and reformatting, you can always do both.
That WAY you gain some knowledge in both areas.

I also believe that MANUAL cleaning by deletion of files and or removal of entries with HJT does not necessarily complete the job properly.
I even have my doubts about so called cleaning programs.

You only have to uninstall a program then check your registry and program files to see what crap is left over from LEGITIMATE programs. Quote

And what their time is worth. Ours is free, so I suspect that's why some of the threads do drag on....... Quote
