So few weeks ago I ran a few programs like anti-virus and Ad-Aware and CC Cleaner and they deleted some things, and now many programs are not working properly. Some programs like AIM would open for a second then exit itself. I've run HiJack and here's the result please help!!

Hello shenanigans...

Did you run the Reg Cure application on your machine?

I'm thinking it did... :)

Try running a system restore to a date before you ran CCCleaner and RegCure. See if that helps.

If you suspect that you have malware aboard, you should pay a visit to the Malware Forum.

Let's try something.

Uninstall AIM from Add or Remove Programs...reboot...reinstall AIM from a fresh download.

Does this get AIM working correctly?
