    Regedit in windows 7

    You knew I'd be back.
    I have downloaded a program just to see how it worked but not really what I wanted. In XP I'd have looked through the registry to eliminate lines as I Can't find it in Ctrl panel or in lists of programs.
    BUT, I don't know how to use run>regedit in 7 as no box appears.
    The program is called alot.com.
    Can I get rid of it as it's taken over the PC almost. I've removed it as my default page as it loaded with the screen message "content blocked by Vipre firewall" - my AV prog

    Hi Doc.

    Please don't take this as harsh, but are you sure that you want to be messing around in the Registry? You are better off using CCleaner to be safe:

    You can also try System Restore or the system backup that we have been recommending to you for (ahem) a few years.
