The registry Windows is a database of all information on the computer and all software installed on it. The major purpose of Windows registry is to save the configuration of different installed software programs on your PC. These are the hardware that is attached or installed to the PC, and any other extraordinary settings, which the user has applied. A PC's registry is an effective way of monitoring different hardware and software components. For instance, all software programs are organized based on the user profiles.
The PC's registry could be corrupted by viruses and spyware. If you continually insatall and remove software, not all of those programs you wish to remove will not be erased or uninstalled themselves completely from the windows registry.
There are 2 major ways on how to clean-up a PC's registry – utilizing registry cleaning software, or cleaning it manually by the use of Windows Registry Editor.
Cleaning your computer registry manually must only be done by a person who understands what registry entries implies. Software can stop to function appropriately if the necessary registry entries will be removed.
The Windows Registry Editor
To clean registry manually, make use of the Windows Registry Editor, but first of all, you must create a back-up of your registry and erase unnecessary programs and files:
1. On your desktop, click Start button
2. Select Run and click
3. A black window will appear to "run" commands
4. Type regedit then Click OK
5. On top of the window, select File
6. Then go down to “Export”
7. Insert a name for the back-up file and then click Save
After backing up your registry, you could go to the left side of registry editor and see how your PC is configured.
Click on the sign “plus” to maximize a part of the registry editor. A well used section for anyone who manually deletes registry files is the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE." This is the area used to create registry alterations to software and hardware.
Registry Cleaning Software
This Software is suited for anyone who is not sure about creating manual changes to windows registry. There are many registry cleaning software programs that are available to remove unnecessary entries from the registry.
Basically, these programs function just the same way. They could scan your registry and remove all errors like missing locations and references to your files. It’s significant to know what registry cleaning software works the best for your computer.

How Google Detects AdSense Invalid Clicks
Still thinking to cheat AdSense? Stop that. It will never bring you anywhere. You might pull it off with smaller ads network, but definitely not with Google. Here are some detection methods they might use. At the very least, they have the resources to do so.
IP Address
If the AdSense click is originated from the same IP Address as the one used for accessing your AdSense account, your account is flagged.
Cookies
Most home users do not use static IP Address for Internet connection. In most cases just disconnect and reconnect will give you a new IP Address. But don’t forget, Google has set cookies on your computer.
Other Google Services
Thinking that you are safe just because you do not access your AdSense account? Think again. This time, consider these: GMail, Google Earth, Google Calendar, Google Search, Google Toolbar, Google Talk, Google Sitemap, Google Desktop, Blogger, and so on, and so on. With the wide range of services they provide, Google can trace the originator of most (or probably almost all) clicks.
Click Pattern 1
Oh, why this computer / IP address / person is so trigger-click-happy on this particular website but never click on the ads on other sites?
Click Pattern 2
And why is it that people accessing these sites direct (type-in URL or from bookmark) tend to be very active ad-clickers compared with those referred from search engine or other sites?
Click Pattern 3
And why the ad-clickers like to hit and run, compared with non ad-clickers that surf a few pages before leaving?
Click-Through-Rate (CTR)
Your CTR may range from 0.5% to 10%, but if it exceeds a certain point (probably around 10%), you are flagged.
Geo-Location
Used Urchin (Google Analytics) before? Then you should know that Google can trace traffics origin down to the small town. Different IP doesn’t mean much. Unless you site is really targetted to one small geo-point, a high number of clicks from nearby location will get you banned quickly.
Hardware address?
MAC address of the LAN card, modem, and router works almost like a fingerprint. I’m not sure if Google can track this, but probably they do. They have rocket scientist, remember?
Advertisers conversion rate
Ad click is one thing. But does it bring value to the advertisers? If none of the clicks on your site translate to conversion to the advertiser, you are in trouble. First the Smart-Pricing hits, then your AdSense account disabled.
Search Engine Ranking
Your website is not indexed on any search engine, not linked by any prominent website, but get consistently high traffic? That sounds like something is in play. Regardless of whether it is an adware-embedded software, spam, trojan clickbot, or intentionally installed click-exchange network, it doesn’t sound right.
Webpage design
How about the “click here” or “support us”? Google has the best search engine in the world. Is it really that hard to find those words?
Combo
Each of these detection methods might seem rather weak. But combine them together, and not many click-fraud can pass-through these filters. Even the smartest clickbot will have a hard time.
In short, it is almost impossible to cheat AdSense in the long term. Instead of spending time, money, and effort trying to outsmart Google, try these tips to improve your AdSense earning

Touchy Feel
Can S/W Engineers be 'Touchy feely'?
Can engineers be 'Touchy feely'? Apparently they
can...
I remember the incident - I was in a restaurant, and
one girl in our group was especially charming. So I,
like any other male, tried to put on a wooing act. You
know the routine, a nanosecond extra eye contact, a
few more nods to whatever she says, and attempts to
throw in those one-liners which you know you wouldn't
if she weren't there.
And it seemed to be working. She leaned forward when
she spoke to me, and every now and again, we'd have a
small conversation of our own, separate from our
group. She laughed at my approach with the fork and
knife, and I teased her about her hair band, which had
little teddy bears. Yes, we were flirting. A while
later, she asked me the question - what did I study? I
said engineering, without any particular meaning
attached to it. And then like a cold metal rail, she
went stiff. My jokes weren't funny any more. Her eyes
wandered to everyone else. What was it?
Why? Why? Why?
Two days later, I still couldn't get over my great
start that had dissipated listlessly upon mentioning
my education. Engineer? What was wrong with that? My
mom had wanted me to become one since I was five! I
had to call her. 'So what happened to you that day,
hot and cold, missie?' And then she said, trying to be
nice, 'Well, it's just that I am skeptical about
engineers as friends. I don't know, they can be, you
know, very logical and everything... not very touchy
feely'.
Not touchy-feely. Now what the heck did that mean?
Well, she obviously did not mean it literally, since
girls don't really suggest that sort of stuff,
certainly not in the first meeting across the table. I
guessed it was something to do with feelings, sort of
having an emotional side. The stereotype being, the
nerdy guy who sees relationships like laws of physics,
to whom love is just a bunch of chemicals going crazy
in your brain, and getting to know a person means
obtaining their bio-data.
It's time to set the record straight.
It's true that a lot of what engineers study (and they
end up studying quite a lot), has to do with
formulaes, laws and numbers. No matter how hard we
try, some of the vocabulary we read all day gets into
our language. So when my mother said, 'Are you getting
married next year or not?' I was liable to say, 'Well,
at this moment in time, the probability is relatively
low,' and felt it was completely normal to say it. And
when my sister went sari shopping and couldn't explain
the shade she wanted, I told the shopkeeper the
percentages of pink, orange and red in the sari.
Yet, ladies, I don't think we're bad at relationships,
love and getting to know people. We too, can be
touchy-feely, as that is part of our education as
well. The reason for this is that most engineering
students live in the ultimate educator - boy's
hostels. Now, let me explain how this plays into this
'touchy-feely' thing. Relationships. Imagine eating,
sleeping, brushing your teeth, bathing (ok rarely this
one) and partying with the same people all the time.
So, when you are kicking that bathroom door down for
the tenth time, or when you stand in line for
'gulab-jamuns' in the mess, and when you are done with
the vodka bottle and sharing all your secrets, you
know it is good practice. Yes, hostels maketh the man.
So, next time you are in a flirtatious situation with
the techno types, go on, flirt a bit more. Of course,
I am biased towards my kind, but if you find the
conversation turning too geeky, just ask them, 'So,
what were your hostel days like?' and chances are,
you'll see a heart behind the calculator. Coming back
to my missie, I thought of what would make me win her
over. Flowers... too cheesy. Music... don't know her
taste (nor trust mine). Teddy bears... don't even go
there. Desperate for some good lines, I just turned it
right back at her. 'Yes, I know what you are saying
about engineers. The thing is, unless people with
depth like you start hanging out with us, we won't get
any better. Can you meet me some time for some
touchy/feely... , I mean coffee/tea?' She giggled.
When they giggle, you have won. Hence proved.!
