What is the best freeware suite for cleaning a laptop with Vista?

August 26, 2009

I currently have ccleaner and Glary Utilities which are both freeware that I found. I am looking for a suite that will fix my registry, remove privacy info, remove temporary files, remove spyware, etc. I would like the best all in one program that is very useful, but as i stated, i prefer freeware and even better yet if its from a safe place like download.com or something like that (although all suggestions are accepted).

How to fix .dll errors with being able to open registry cleaners?

August 26, 2009

Okay, I have Windows Vista 64-bit. Very recently, I started encountering two major .dll errors. The biggest error is the ADVAPI32.dll missing error. I get a message telling me the ADVAPI32.dll file is missing. I have checked in System32 and it is still there, at about 1,038kb.

I’ve seen solutions that involve using a registry cleaner but I can’t open the registry cleaners because that file is ‘missing’. Many of programs like Internet Explorer 32bit, Microsoft Word, MSN Messenger, all of my installed games, registry cleaners, anti-virus programs, and probably more programs will not open because of this.

I also get an error message that says ntdll.dll is missing from the ‘dynamic library’ when I try to open other programs.

How can I fix these .dll errors without using a registry cleaner?

Also, I tried doing a system restore from its farthest restore point. It simply will not work. I need a solution please!
Tried bringing up the command line as suggested in answer# 2.

Came up with
RegSvr32:
"The module ‘ADVAPI32.dll’ was loaded but the entry point DLLRegisterServer was not found.

Make sure that ‘ADVAPI32.dll’ is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again."

pop ups/spyware registry cleaners?

August 25, 2009

I keep getting these "offers" in the form of pop ups to scan my computer for adware, malware and registry cleaners too. I have ran my Web root spyware program as well as my avast anti virus to no avail. These "offers" seem to be slowing the internet substantially on my one computer. Though the rest of that computer seems to working fine. How do I get rid of these popups. I have set my internet security and privacy at high levels. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Programs I can download to stop this. Please help
