RegInOut…..and other registry cleaners?

October 19, 2009

Has anybody here used a registry cleaner called RegInOut ? On the internet, it is mooted as being one of the best. There are so many of these registry cleaners and each is supposed to be THE best. And yet when you Google the product, all sorts of very conflicting reports surface, confusing someone of my computer knowledge (or rather lack of it), even more. I keep on hearing the name CC Cleaner : I know it is free, but is it good ? Free does not equate to efficient and/or safe. My long-winded question is : which registry cleaners (if any) do people here on Yahoo Answers use ? And what, may I ask, is your experience and honest unbiased assessment of these softwares you entrust your computers with ? In past, I have always received very good advice from Yahoo Answers — and hence, I am back for (hopefully) more of the same. I thank you all in anticipation.

Take care

PS During product (re)search on Google, I was pleasantly surprised to read somewhere that RegInOut originates in Rawalpindi, Pakistan : is this true ? This is something quite new to me. But then again, as I said earlier, I am not the most computer-savvy person you are going to encounter anytime soon.

Computer Help: How to fix really slow computer?

October 14, 2009

So here is the deal. Apparently, my computer is supposed to be "the fastest one in the house" (according to my dad). But when I was younger, I downloaded Limewire, And all sorts of different fonts and cursors from sketchy websites (I was young and stupid apparently).
Now, my computer is really slow. It takes about 15 mins to boot up, and it takes about 10 seconds to just respond to my clicks.

I have removed Limewire since then, and tried to get rid of all of the fonts and stuff, but that hasn’t really helped much.

I have Spybot and Symantec to get rid of spyware and viruses, but it is still so slow.

I would ask my dad, but I don’t want him to know that I had Limewire. >.<

Is there a software I can buy that can help me fix it? Or should I just buy a new hardrive and start over?

Thanks!

How to remove annoying winfixer pop ups from my computer?

I’ve run Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware but I still seem to be infected with Malware. What’s wrong?

August 5, 2009

Question pretty much sums it up, a couple of days ago I got the Antivirus XP Pro 2009 Malware/Data Miner/Trojan and I’ve been working around the clock to try and clean it up. I’ve tried all sorts of things including SUPERAntiSpyware Pro and Malwarebytes’ Anti Malware to clean it up, but after the full system scan they seem to come up as nothing wrong. I also cleaned up infected registry keys, well, I think I cleaned them all up, and I also deleted some processes from task manager. I tried SpyHunter, the eval version, and then I manually deleted the infected files, and I have a hijack this log if anyone wants it. Anyway, what’s next? What do I do? Is the best option just getting my media and work and getting a new computer? Thanks everyone
