Ok. We need a lot more information.

1. What OS? XP, Vista, Mac, 7
2. What security software are you running? Antivirus, Firewall, Anti-Spam, HIPS, etc.
3. Which version of browsers are you using?

We need to start with the basics.
1. Run a complete scan with your antivirus.
2. Run a complete scan with both Super Antispyware and MalwareBytes.

I've not used Vuze, but I believe it is a bittorrent program. If so, and you downloaded stuff using Vuze, my hunch is that you downloaded a file or files with either a virus or spyware.

Calm down and type properly please.

First of all, do not go to those registry sites anymore or use whatever you've downloaded from them.

The HTTP 500 error is normal if it only occurs to a few sites (it's the host server's problem, not your computers, usually), but if its occuring to every site you visit, then you have a problem. However, you seem to be able to go to some sites that "sorts out registry", so that cannot be the case.

Sorry, but we cannot help you fix your problem until you clarify.

I would just like to add here that TSA appreciates that many of our members and visitors do not have English as their first language which is often reflected in the content of their posts. I guess I wouldn't be able to type very 'properly' in Cantonese either

These types of situations can be frustrating and we would like to help but as the others have requested, we do need some more information first.

We could ask our members to type a copy of their post in their native language, then if some of us happens to speak that language, problem solved! If no one speaks that language, we could always use Google translate or any other translator tool.

Unfortunately this is not acceptable, although I appreciate it is a good idea.
Apart from the Spanish section the default site language is English. The site moderators need to assess new posts quickly and effectively to avoid unsuitable content remaining on public view. This is only possible if the posts are made in English (or Spanish).
