or registry prot http://www.pcsoftland.com/utilities/...gistryprot.htm

in fact even adaware's ad-watch or spybot's teatimer monitor ur registry.

Regmon is very good. You can also try other such softwares like

Yeah, even SpyBot monitors your registry!!

JGuru .. You have posted more or less the same message posted by anandk .. and this doesnt look like a coincidence to me ..

Zeeshan ... Experience man .. Anyways .. I've achieved software nirvana now .. Use only freewares ..

[Zeeshan Quireshi]

well i use freeware too , but i made a registry key for the alexa toolbar so that i could download from megaupload without installing the toolbar . I know that the trick is already knows but i wanted to do it myself

can u tell me ne software which can help me to remove them...

[Zeeshan Quireshi]

well yup , use CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/ it's free .

otherwise you can use Tune Up Utilities 2006 , it's very good , especially the registry defragmentor
