QUESTION CCleaner frequently removes three entries from my PC's Registry – SMax4.exe, SMax4Wiz.exe and SMWizard.exe. Every time I reboot the machine they reappear. How can I delete them? Edward V Wilkinson

HELPROOM ANSWER These files are part of the SoundMax audio system and don't need to be removed from your PC. If you really want them gone, uninstall any SoundMax audio applications you find at Start, Control Panel, ‘Uninstall or change a program'. See all How to articles.
