RegSeeker problem

Hi,

I get this in the middle of a scan on RegSeeker:

Is it safe to press stop, remove all it's found and then do another scan so it can pick the rest of the errors up?

Thanks
Craig.

Got it here: http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm

The only one available there is beta, maybe that's why?

Was top result on Google.

It got further, scanned my whole C drive, then went to my external and got about half way through the files and gave the error.

Is there any way I can stop it from scanning my external? As there's no need.

Also, is it safe to fix ALL the error it comes out with?

Edit:
Just tried and told it ONLY to scan the registry, not my drives or ActiveX thingys, it came out with the popup error within a second

If that's the case i think i'd be looking closer to home. Spyware perhaps, or if you're overclocked, is it stable?

No overclock & did 5 different spyware scans earlier

Maybe a particular program installed on the PC makes it give that error or something?

Maybe it's something to do with this: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17540688

I will have a look at TuneUp thanks.

Thanks

Hi

I managed to get it to do a full scan by unticking the top option (I forgot which one it was as I'm on the results screen at the moment).

Anyway, it's found 1184 errors, mostly being invalid folders etc etc

Is it alright to remove ALL of these?

I'm sure it won't remove any registrys entries that will stop Windows from booting, so will I just be safe with a backup?

Thanks
Craig.
