not a program thats a free scan but a registry cleaner also how can i do this manualy,how do i know what to get rid of.

I’m curious to know if Windows Vista (Home Premium) has a registry cleaner somewhere on it. I’ve been looking for a free one online, but all I find are Registry cleaners that claim to be free, scan my computer, then say that I must reigster them before they fix any issues with my computer.

Any help would be appreciated, either a Vista registry cleaner or one that actually IS free.

Thanks for the help = )

Have you found Registry Cleaners to be safe, and are they effective in enhancing the performance of a computer? I ran a free scan from Regcure, and they supposedly found over 1,000 fixes. I’d like to speed up my computer, but am hesitant to use this, as I might delete something I shouldn’t. I guess my main question is whether they make a big difference to the computer, making the risk worth it. Thanks for any advice.
