Ok, so I currently have Windows XP which is filled with crap. Idealistically I would like to wipe the Windows XP clean, start with a new slate, and then install Linux Ubuntu. If anyone could help other than just giving me the Linux Ubuntu website, I would really appreciate it.

Hello Everyone,
In the last 2-3 months, I have been installing and uninstall some software from the internet, things like Tortorrent download tools, software tools, Eclipse, NetBeans, Quick timer, iTunes.. etc.. a lot of them. Then after using them, I have uninstalled a few cuz I realized I no more need them. Now my Pc is running very slow. Also I faced a problem where this ccsvhost.exe (Norton related) stuff would eat up all the memory and cpu, I just found a work around I open up norton then disabled few kind of scans like messanger and such stuff or background scan, that helped me from norton slowing down the system. Having done all this good lot of crap.. Now I am feeling I need to clean up my registry. I understand that I am trying to install one more tool, but any tool that is worth installing and that might clean up my registry, without bothering me to buy the software in the middle of its job? I mean it totally annoys when it says so many issues are identified with your registry, but plz subscribe for it to further clean up :(. .. It will be a great help if anyone of you help me with this.
Thank you in advance.
Hi all, Thanks to you all for the reply.

I just used Advance System Care free ware, so far so good, I will see for a day or two and if it looks fine then shall update again with the observations and then try the suggestions by other guys.

I already have Crap Cleaner, but my computer still runs pretty slow, is there any way to clean out any viruses or spyware (mine expired so I’m basically defenseless) for free? I would really like for my PC to run like it used to, any suggestions?

I have a 224 gig hard drive on my computer, and i only have 85 gigs left on it! I have two accounts, on i use, and the other just incase i screw up badly… I have restored my computer like 4 times (im not very wise when it comes to adding crap to my computer).. but anyway, how do i free up some space, my computer is fast, but i would like to have some more room. Please help!

Okay I understand that because I have defragmented my computer
Windows XP…that I may not get rid of things that need to be removed
Temp folders etc..Do I need these folders? I don’t want to remove anything I have no disk for this computer and am trying to clean up all the crap (porns)etc that have been put on this system any suggestions….PLZ don’t make me tear it up !!!
