I have been using the internet for last few years and everything worked fine. However, since few months ago, I could not defend from viruses, especially keyloggers. I even reinstalled my OS twice but it did not help me for a long. After a few days on the cyber space and I have the same problems. Now I have the problems again. How does HJT access the registry anyway? Should I think of changing my web browser?

There are other browsers beside the Internet explorer. Mozilla is definitely one of the most popular browsers on the net. Firefox is even more popular. Many users think that they are better then Explorer. Anyway, I do not think that your problems are related to using Explorer and that you should change it. I am also spending much time on the Internet, I am using Explorer as Internet browser, and I do not have any problems. That my opinion is right shows that first place as the most popular internet browser goes to Internet explorer. You just need some reliable anti-spyware software like SpyBot, which is efficient and free. SpyBot will deal with those keyloggers. It has some special parts for those kinds of malwares like immunization and tea-timer. HJT or Hijack This is also great tool for kill startup malwares because it is accessing directly to registry.
