What things should I be doing to keep my PC clean and healthy?

July 31, 2009

Since my last PC died I have been trying to keep my new PC clean and healthy.

Every week I have been doing the following things. Defragging, full anti virus scan and CCleaner (to delete unused registers).

Is there anything else I should be doing to keep my PC running faster?

What is the best download utility to buy, to clean/repair and protect my Registry?

July 17, 2009

A Registry Mechanic (installed on my Desktop) scan showed 24 shared DLL’s, 75 Temporary/Shortcut and 14 Deep Scan problems/errors. Unfortunately, I’m not a computer nerd and so, I don’t know what all that stuff means. I haven’t purchased it (Registry Mechanic/PC Tools), yet. I don’t know what a computer "registry" is.

I’m also receiving prompts telling me I have both application and stop (and some other type of error I don’t remember) errors.

My computer’s security programs consist of the following freeware: Ad-Aware SE Personal; Spybot Search & Destroy, and SpywareBlaster for malware/anti-spyware purposes; and for a firewall, ZoneAlarm.

I have an unpurchased/not registered Spy Sweeper (Webroot) on my Desktop which I use for scan purposes.

My only registered/purchased (anti-virus) program is AVG Professional, from Czechoslovakia, and I’m in the last year of their two-year program. I have no big complaints about them. If there’s a better one, I’m not aware of it

HELP

How do I list an exception when Windows Registry cleaner is performed?

July 9, 2009

I have a beautiful CD/DVD burning program, and it has been suggested to me that because I’m getting the message "Trial Period Is Expired", it’s very likely because an anti-virus program or Registry Cleaner is removing the program when it cleans. How do I list the exception in Norton’s Systemworks so it doesn’t clean the Registry thereby removing my program? I also have CC Cleaner, and can list the exception in there.
Must I ‘uncheck’ the windows registry scanner in the Systemworks?
When the Registry Cleaner is working, does it just clean, or does it correct errors?? I’m confused and would appreciate any help offered. Thanks in advance.

Is it ok to have 2 registry/history cleaners?

July 8, 2009

I already have one that comes with my anti-virus program but it’s not as effective as the one that I use to have. I want to use it again but I’m afraid it might conflict with my anti-virus’s cleaner. Is it ok to have 2?
