my pc takes along while to settle down( 20 mins),so i looked at task master and found apdproxy.exe running at 98 %and cpu at the bottom 100% i found apdprpxy is to do with adobe on the net ,and it offered a free reg check which i had, and it informed me i had 650 reg faults ,being closer to 80 than 70 yrs and the wife wont let me put bank info on the net I dashed to pc world to get a reg cleaner ,but the lad said they are a waste of time I need to bring it in for a clean up ,he also said down loading the 15 free fixes could give me more trouble (damn to late) my questions are is 20 mins normal and should I worry about the 650 faults and are reg cleaners really no good and am I wasting my time trying to understand pcs . thank you all & all the best

I dont believe Adobe do reg scans nor would they ask you to buy "fixes".
But if you go into msconfig you can disable that under the "startup" tab.
If you are uncomfortable with that download this free utility
http://www.windowsstartup.com/isw2.exe.
It will tell you whats necessary and what isnt, and it wont charge you for the priviledge.
