You don't need a reg cleaner, you need to clean up the spyware and check
for viruses.
For cleaning spyware, here are 2 free programs that are always
recommend. There are easy to work with.
AdAware

Spybot

You should also check for viruses. I am not familiar with the free
programs, someone else will probably suggest one.
Your system needs to be clean to at least give rFactor a chance to run.
Good luck,
