Apparently I have 321 problems in my registry. How can I fix this, and is there a good program I can use for this? I’ve tried Advanced Windows Care and CCleaner but it still shows 321 problems…

I downloaded both Registry Mechanic and Ccleaner. It turned out that Registry Mechanic offered only a free trial. The free trial included running the program, pointing out hundreds of errors and fixing something like sixteen errors and leaving the others.

Ccleaner was truly free and I thought it would do the same job as Registry Mechanic, but it didn’t. When I ran Registry Mechanic after Ccleaner, it still pointed out 323 errors.

So, I’d like to download a totally free product that will fix some of these errors. Any suggestions?

Such as those that protect against malware, spyware, viruses, worms, etc.? What effectively cleans the registry and repairs corrupt desktop icons? A few examples that I know of are Spybot, Avira, CCleaner, and ZoneAlarm. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

After a lot of personal research, straightforward testing, and lessons learned, I came up with the following freeware solutions for keeping my system up and running.

FIREWALL
– COMODO Firewall Pro

ANTIVIRUS
– AOL Active Virus Shield (based on Kapersky)
– a-squared free

ANTISPYWARE
– SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition
– Microsoft Windows Defender
– SpywareBlaster
– McAfee SiteAdvisor

REGISTRY CLEANER
– Advanced WindowsCare V2 Personal
– CCleaner

ANTISPAM
– SpamBayes

DEFRAGMENTER
– Speedfrag (a bit akward to use at first, but simply the best one available for free)

MEMORY OPTIMIZER
– Cacheman

All those software are free to everyone for personal use, they are also easy-to-use, non-intrusive (almost no pop-ups windows) and low-memory consuming.

My laptop is now booting up in 55s with 659 Mb of free RAM available (out of 1Gb total), and is decently fast.

I consider it good, but I would like to make it even better.. Any advise?

I don’t know much about registry programs, but I know of several of them such as CCleaner and Registry Mechanic. Any advice on the best softwares?
