I used ccleaner to clean my laptop and deleted everything recommended. Unfortunately I did not make a backup of the registry and now I have problems with msn live messenger. sometimes msn live messenger doesn't start at all and other times even if it starts and logs on, it immediately shuts down stating a fatal error. I uninstalled and re-installed the program at least 3 times - but the problem still persisits.
Worst, I suggested ccleaner to 2 of my friends and they are having similar problem. Do suggest what can be done to remedy this.

Welcome to the forums V! :D
Have you tried uninstalling it in Safe Mode then restarting and install it in normal mode?

Quit using msn messenger or any like it. It is famous for spreading viruses. Don't even have to have it running and it will spread a virus via email to another user who doesn't even use a messenger. On my computer it is uninstalled immediately after NOrtON (after reinstalling my bundled OS).
