Hi, I have Windows Vista Home Basic. Recently Ive had some problems with spyware. Deal Assitant, Virtumonde, Green AV to list a few. With some registry cleaners, multiple spy protection programs, avast/spybot/norton, I basically had everything cleaned up. Now though this is the problem:

On Start Up, Windows Explorer Freezes completely, restarts, then after that…Folders, User Data Folders, my computer folders,etc.. and also Internet Explorer Seems to be alright navgating. But something as simple as a notepad document will not open. Task Manager comesup with error message. Programs and actual files open, but only after minutes of lag time, and again just a few programs/files open may lead to freeze. Ive Checked Registries, Ran Anti-Spyware, and from what i can see everything is clean. I dont know why Im still having a problem. Please Help me with this. Thank You. Also, Note, under safe mode without networking, seems to run alot better. Any help with this will greatly be appreciated.

I have been thinking of giving my computer a home health check and have been advised to use a registry cleaner. I have seen that RegZooka has good reviews. But are registry cleaners a waste of money and if not what do you reckon is the best.

I recently subscribed to Kris Mainieri and he gave me few tips regarding that Those expensive registry cleaners,all-in-one pc optimizing software and ram boosters does not actually works,He gave me tips that I should just use simple programs such as CCleaner and Defraggler to speed up my PC.Is this true?

Registry Cleaner help?

Okay, I really need some help choosing some registry cleaners. I have Maplestory, Solider Front, and Combat Arms, but I only really play MS, but my cousin often comes over and plays SF and CA. So, now my PC is all jacked up. It can be really slow, that I often have to restart the PC in order to connect to the internet. Don’t reply saying that I should uninstall it because I’m not. Are there any good Registry Cleaners that are pretty good, and is a freeware? I have CCleaner, but it doesn’t find much errors, when other "professional" cleaners can scan up to 3000 problems on my PC, but are way too pricey. Please, I need registry cleaners and defragmentors that are freeware and does pretty god job on it. Remember: I have CCleaner already, and it’s not really good.
