I'm already using ccleaner at the moment, but am wondering if there's any other reg. cleaners out there that actually scan AND remove the things it finds. Anyone know of any?

I have graet virus software, but i need a safe piece of freeware to clean my registry. I run vista 64 bit.
help!

in my experience in computing i found that there are viruses (in this case malware) that make your system show a fake windos error prompt (usually telling you that there is spyware or viruses in the computer although there isn't) and that you need to download the offered software (in which i find suspicous windows doesn't just offer free software through an error prompt for free) and i also found out that if you try to click don't install is triggers virus installation and if you click the X in the corner it will also trigger a virus installation

it downloads rogue software that automatically installs itself into your comuter (it is malware that disquises itself as a spyware protection program, virus protection program, or a registry cleaner) and acts as it is scanning your system and shows fake threats and says that if you want to get rid of them you have to buy there product.

how do you cancell these you whenever you encounter a promt that seems like it will download one

I know most of these programs designed to clean your computer and getting it to run most efficiently allow a set number of computers to install the program at one time (if you bought it). Does this mean you can install it on multiple computers if you uninstall after scanning/removing in say a computer repair business? If antiviruses can only be installed a set number of times, how do businesses offer virus removal/etc services?
