windows built in progs are just fine, use AVG free anti virus, and zonealarm firewall if you need it, lavasoft adaware is good for removing spyware, leave your registry alone, there are no speed tweaks to be gained from "cleaning" it, it’s myth.
There is no single software that does it.
The use od the DiskClean Utiliity that is on XP and the use of Spybot’s Search and Destroy, along with Lavasoft’s Adaware 2007. and naturally you need an Up to Date Virus Software will do the trick.
You don’t need references and Sources these are common sence and practices that are learned over time by users to maintain trouble free operation of there computers. Many don’t like to share there knowledge because it forces you to use IT Proffesionals and Tech’s this is a money maker for them.
