[dba-Tech] Junk in the Registry

Holy Cow - here's a folder call History, under P3P with a couple thousand
more of these *.com keys. 

Who's idea was this Registry anyway - seems like a big mess.  

I've been touted on a lot of registry cleaners - which some of them are
probably good, some bogus - is this the kind of thing they're supposed to
clean up?

Further - in the folder called Domains, under the folder called ZoneMap,
which is in InternetSettings, there are probably a couple thousand of these
*.com keys.  Is there an orderly way to delete them? (I use Firefox, btw).

MTIA again,

Rocky

Dear List:

 

I had an occasion to scan my registry for something and I see a whole lot of
keys with a .com extension - tried a few in the browser and they don't link
to anything.  A couple of them are identified as attack sites.

What's the best way to get rid of the junk - dangerous or otherwise?

MTIA

 

Rocky
