Listen folks, I just had to get rid of this on my girlfirend’s computer. The program you want to get rid of is named “cu799e.exe” and there is a call for it in the registry. You’ll need to delete the registry entry that calls for the program to run, and you’ll need to delete the cu799e.exe file, too.
I did it and all is good. To edit your registry you have to run regedit and you better know what you’re doing. Good luck!

Your PC is still slow after trying what was listed here? If you install and later removing lots of programs this will create empty registry keys in your registry and windows sometimes has to pass through these empty (useless) registry files to find the file or program you want to open. So this slows down your PC very much.
I would advise you to get yourself a registry cleaner or save your files and reinstall windows(better for faster PC) if the registry cleaner does not work. I also recommend regcure as your registry cleaner. Try this and see what happens.
