I tried Windows Live One Care virus protection recently, but my trial just expired. I was wondering if there was a similar virus protection (one with real-time and automatic updates) that I could download for free or free to try. And if so where can I download it at? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Everytime I type words like "fix computer errors" on the searh bar here on yahoo answers I always see websites on the right side of yahoo answers saying something like fix computer errors, and when I click them they are registry fixers or cleaners.

Shouldn’t we be able to rely on the operating system to keep itself in stable condition? My registry cleaner found 6000 errors this month alone. Since the OS is such an important function of the computer; why can’t it pick up after itself?

I just want to clean my computer off so it will generally run faster. All the programs I do not use anymore I want totally gone, and I find when I uninstall things from the control panel, the files and folders are still in my Program Files folder. I know to perform defrag, error checking, and virus scans, but since my C drive is getting full, I need to clear a bunch of stuff off so its like semi-new and runs faster. Any suggestion on how I should do this?

or AT&T? is it free? do I correct the errors? Basically, is this an outside company or do u suggest using it?
