    Start Run, REGEDIT

    File, and FIND

    Type in: "Systemtweak" and press enter

    Now once it finds an appearance, right click to modify. Then delete. Say yes to: "I understand it may cause stuff to stop working correctly"

    Press F3 to continue searching the rest of the registry

    Find all other appearances in the registry and delete.

    Once it finishes searching the entire registry, go back to the top "Computer" and now do a find, on "RegClean Pro" or any other Malware that may be bothering windows. (example) search for "Advanced System Protection"

    Now once it finds an appearance, right click to modify. Then delete. Say yes to "I understand it may cause Stuff to stop working correctly"

    Press F3 to continue searching the registry

    Find all other appearances in the registry and delete.

    Be careful not to harm any other files.....

    Hi,

    Were there any changes made to the computer prior to the issue?

    Please follow the methods.

    Method 1:

    Uninstall RegClean program from the control panel and check.

    Refer to the link.

    Uninstall or change a program

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program

    Method 2:

    Run the Microsoft fixit from the link.

    Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled

    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/

    Method 3:

    I would suggest you to download and run the latest Microsoft Safety Scanner on your computer and check if it helps:

    http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss.


    Method 4:

    Let’s test the issue in safe mode.

    Refer to the link.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    If it works fine in safe mode, perform clean boot.

    NOTE: After troubleshooting, revert the computer to start as usual (Refer to “Step 7” from the link mentioned above)
