Registry cleaner? I have anti spy and malware software. Also, anti-virus software. I do disk cleanup often. Now I'm hearing that I need a registry cleaner. What's that?
Oh yeah, I also keep my browsing history completely cleared.
For instance, I'm able to do all the stuff this software claims to do without it…

So, what's so special about it?
Is it just for people who don't know how to use their computer?

I just formated me computer yesterday in an effort to get rid of the constant "Messanger Service" pop-ups from RegistryCleanerXP.

After the format, everything seemed fine, but today i was browsing the net and i got the same pop-up as before.

Why??

I have only gone to two or three websites since the format, and everything seemed fine. But now the pop-up's are back.

How can i get ride off them premanatly?? And how are they getting one my computer??

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks
Thanks for the info Gary,

But i was just wondering, if doing it through services.msc will affect anything else on my computer??

I had actually read that method of fixing the problem, but some people say that if you do it through services.msc, then it will disable other things on your computer such as MSN messenger.

Is that true?

I just purchased a brand new expensive desktop.I would like to keep optimized for the best possible performance.There are a vast amount of registry cleaners out there all claiming to be the best,some I don't trust.What is the best way to optimize my PC,or are all those software programs actually no good at all?
