User has installed Advanced System Optimiser and lost connection with the network, I found that the proxy settings had been changed to localhost port 2323. Has anyone got any info on what other changes are made by this program? should I reinstall the workstation has any one any thoughts on these optimisers
It could have changed a number of things, impossible for us to tell what kind of damage it may have wreaked on the workstation. Most of these Registry destroyers, er... I mean registry "Optimizers" keep a backup of the "fixes" so that the system may be returned to its previous state. Check in the program and see if such a restore feature is available. As you have already found out most of these "Optimizers" cause more harm than good and should only be used by experienced users and under limited circumstances. Certainly average users should not be installing these kinds of dangerous tools in a corporate environment, perhaps they have too many permissions or privileges on the workstation.
