I formerly had PC Tools' Spyware Doctor and Registry Mechanic, but the license has expired on those two and they no longer offer a discount price for getting both programs.

Can you steer me towards something equally good that I should look into getting? I'm looking for protection from spyware, malware, etc.

I'm not locked into getting a Registry cleaner, but would like to.

BTW, I use AVG's updated free version, so I feel I'm covered on the anti-virus front.

Any useful suggestions very much appreciated. Thanks.

My PC is slow at startup, is it good to run a registry cleaner? I thought I heard they were bad to run. Also, all my anti-virus stuff, spyware, degrag…etc is all ok…it is something outside of that.

Thanks in advance!
