R0, R1, R2, R3 - IE Start & Search page

Sample list items:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page=http://www.google.com/
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL=http://www.google.com/
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

Instructions:
If you recognize the url at the end (as either your homepage or a search engine), then it's okay. If you don't recognize it, check it to be fixed. R3 items should always be fixed unless it mentions a program that you recognize/use.

F0, F1 - Autoloading programs

Sample list items:

F0 - system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe Openme.exe
F1 - win.ini: run=hpfsched

Instructions:
F0 list items are always bad and should be fixed. The F1 list items are usually old programs that are safe, but you should obtain more information on the filename to see if it needs fixed.
