Registry Back-up?

September 21, 2009

Can anyone tell me how to do this? I want to clean my registry up, but I want to make sure all of the current settings are saved in case I see subsequent issues. Also, what is the best freeware to use to clean the registry up? Thanks-

Why can’t I clean my registry??

September 21, 2009

I was going through my registry and I found an entire list of previously used firewalls and AV’s. Each of these programs has been completely installed and removed from my computer quite a while ago. After I found these entries I deleted them since they are utterly useless and just take up space. However, I reopened the registry and all the entries rewrote them selves back to where the were before I deleted them.

What is going on? Why can I not remove these useless entries and how do I permanently get rid of them?

Wouldn’t this be considered malware since it is not removable and rewrites itself after being deleted? These are entries from big named companies like norton, mcafee, and several others.

Do Registry Boosters/Cleaners really help?

September 20, 2009

Hello,

I was wondering if Registry Boosters/Cleaners are really worth getting. I have read that there is a 94% chance that your computer registry has errors on it and is slowing down your performance. I have looked at some Registry Boosters but you have to buy them.

Is there any free ones out there that not only scan but repair? If not, what are some of the most popular ones or best working ones?

Thanks for your help 🙂
