System Restore (need to be in "normal mode") & Last Known Configuration don’t help.

Chkdsk fails on reboot and scandisk does not run in safe mode

BIOS settings have been reset to default

I had Symantec Anti-virus w/Live Update, but that has not been performing well lately and I deleted it as Live Update was not actually Live Updating it. Any anti-virus software I dl, it refuses for some odd reason. What I do have installed is Malware Bytes & Wise Registry Cleaner 4.

I have seen most tech forums on the Web and none of them have been providing me a right answer, so I will take suggestions from here. Thanks to those that help me, I truly appreciate it. 🙂

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

waitin….

My computer seems to have contracted spyware, specifically WinFixer. I have run Adaware, SpyBot S&D, AVG, and PestPatrol and have had no luck in getting rid of it. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Auslogics Registry Cleaner VS Wise Registry Cleaner! Both have a "safe/recommended" cleaning mode… but first has just "safe/recommended" cleaning areas, and the second has a specific ranking of the registry keys/values for all the categories! So, which one is SAFER and more EFFICIENT?

Please – install both and try searching (not cleaning), then tell your opinion(s)! Thanks a lot.

P.S. If you know more programs/software like these (with a "safe/recommended" mode) – please, submit!
P.P.S. A freeware is more likely!

Thanks, vk! Your opinion is counted. But I need more opinions… so, please! How come this post aren’t marked as interesting yet? Isn’t what you were looking for, is a safe and efficient registry cleaner? By the way – a good registry cleaner can save you time to not reinstall OS in each 3/6 months! So, I’m waiting on more comments, dudes. Thanks again!

P.S. Please, rate each registry cleaner’s safety and efficiency by 3 stars rating… 1 = unsafe, 2 = regular, 3 = safe & 1 = unefficient, 2 = regular, 3 = efficient… or by your system (if you wish so).
Thanks, Cannon F! Utilitie, that you’ve found is impressive, but it isn’t FREE.

I need more opinions!

For those, who didn’t understood:

1. Auslogics Registry Cleaner can identify "safe/recommended" areas for cleaning.
2. Wise Registry Cleaner can identify a "safe/recommended" to remove keys in any areas.
3. So which is SAFER?
4. Which is more EFFICIENT?

Any testers to test the safety of an algorithm(s) of each tool? Any new suggestions (programs) with something like "safe/recommended" mode?

P.S. About Auslogics Registry Cleaner to crash a system – that wasn’t happening to me since it was released!

Waiting… 8|
What I’ve discovered bad about Auslogics Registry Cleaner (and suffered from that)… it is set by default to remove a recovery archives older than 30 days and it is set by default as well to limit an archives count to 100. So please – be aware! You can loose of your old registry keys forever, just like me! >_<
Thanks, Daniel! You’ve helped too. Is there anyone more, who can advice a good or a really good registry cleaning/maintaining software (good, if it’s free)? Maybe several software in a rank? The main for me is a CORRECTNESSY and SAFETY in findings of obsolete/invalid registry entries… and of course some performance boost after that ;). P.S. It is known now, that I’ve losted some of the registry entries forever, so I’m asking… I’ve made a registry backup with ERUNT few months ago… so, will it take my registry to the old state (>_<) or just add the old registry keys, that I’ve lost (^_^)? Thanks! 🙂 P.P.S. Please, if you’re reading this, and you know the sence in registry cleaning software – put/post some here (freeware is more likely)! Thx.
Correctnessy = good algorithm(s)…

Paid is not so previleged, but can be offered too…
