Registry Mechanic is an ultimate solution to the problem you are facing.
You could get it from http://www.download.com
Also, additionaly you could install Thoose Quick Optimizer which would considerably check for necessary changes and would optimize your PC for best performance.
Thanks, hope it woild help you..
The second one could be searched via google and you will get it easily.
The Registry is hardly ever the problem for a slow computer. You either have spyware, malware, or a virus or two running in the background. Run a good anti virus program along with Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes can be downloaded from http://www.malwarebytes.org
Also check the msconfig utility to make sure that there aren’t to many programs loading with your Operating system and then running in the background.
Download ashampoo winoptimizer its not free but you get a trial period. This software does a clean up of your registry, drives and internet files and has some good other functions too
also it is quite easy to find a key for this on the internet
Yes theres loads.
Every single one of them is completely useless though. People realised they could just create a myth that your registry needs cleaning to make money from advertising when you download their useless product.
Even ones like ccleaner have more of a chance of ruining your windows installation than they do of making your pc noticeably faster.
You could try Ccleaner it is free and is safe and is very popular:-

That is a scam, do not bother paying for it.
The best program to use for cleaning junk is CCleaner.
If your computer is horrendously slow, it’s not the registry.
What you downloaded is known as a rogue. It’s a type of virus. Usually not harmful but can be very aggravating. Rogues are software programs which offer free downloads and scans. After the scan they provide you with astronomical results in an attempt to get you to purchase the program. Don’t fall for it. There are 2 registry cleaners that I use which are completely safe and completely free. The first thing you need to do, however, is install Malwarebytes free version (link below) and run a full scan. It will get rid of the rogue you have downloaded. Although most of the time rogues do not hide in your system restore, you may have other trojans or viruses on your computer which may attempt to hide during the Malwarebytes scan. Hence, turn off your system restore prior to running the scan. This will delete all restore points but you wouldn’t want to restore your computer to those points anyway since you are trying to start fresh. After scanning with Malwarebytes you will be given the option to remove the rogue and any others that are found. Choose that option. Once removed turn your system restore on again and download ccleaner free version (link below). Click on the cleaner tab in the column on the left. I have provided you with a picture in the imageshack link below which will show you the best configuration. Next click on the "Registry" tab and check all boxes. Click on "Scan for issues". You will be prompted to back up the files that are found during the scan. I would recommend you choose yes. Save the file to "My Documents". The other registry scanner is an online version offered by Microsoft (link below). Each of these scanners find things that the other doesn’t. That’s normal since no one program can detect everything. It’s the same with anti-virus programs. No need to give any money to either of these. Good Luck and if you have any problems you can email me from my Yahoo Answers profile page and I will be happy to assist you.
