CLSID meaning and problems

[Redoak]

What do the four letters "CLSID" represent. If there are 'problems' there,
can they be serious? If so, how are they eliminated?
Many thanks, redoak

Greetings Redoak,

CLISD - An identification tag that's associated with an ActiveX or OLE 2.0
object created by a specific component or server. CLSID values appear in the
Registry and must be unique for each type of object that the server can
create. See Registry. - http://www.pace.ch/cours/glossary.htm

Thanks and best of luck!

Thanks for the links. I see this involves the 'registry.' I will not pursue
further, since my computer functions well.

I am trying to find an answerto a similar question. I need to find the
"CLSID" of freelotto.com so I can block it with Spywareblaster.
Spywareblaster asks me for the CLSID of freelotto.com and I don't know
how to find it. Anyone have any suggestions ?

A clsid can be almost anything. What is freelotto.

If your having a problem with the website, 1.) run regedit and find
freelotto.com until you find it in the CLSID folder (then you have the
CLSID) or 2.) run Hijack This and it will give you the CLSID BHO
information.
