What software programs to use with my new windows vista home premium 64bit notebook?

November 25, 2009

I own this OS and for some reason many programs are not compatible with 64bit processors. I would like to know whats a good program to use for safe cleaning i used ccleaner in xp but with this OS it doesnt work quite well anymore. When i tried to uninstall Office 2007 home student 2007 it gave me errors and as well norton internet security 2007 gave me more errors and i was using its add remove feature doesnt work. Do you know of one or many i could use with this kind of vista 0S 64bit. I dont want to mess this up again. I have tried tuneup utilties 2007 2008 and now 2009 to its max. Scared to use the registry cleaner please help ok i want something a novice user could use thank you and yes i have tried pc decrapifier as well maybe some nice tuneups or tweaks you could give would be great thanks

Registry Cleaners??

October 13, 2009

Do they really make much of a difference performance wise??? Should i get one like ccleaner or tune-up utilities??
I want to know because i am deciding between norton 360 2.0 and norton internet security 2008 and the only difference i care about is that the new 360 also includes a reg cleaner.

Help appreciated!!

Why do I need registry cleaner?

August 27, 2009

I have Norton Internet Security 2008 on my pc. Do I need to clean my registry as I had recently some crashes. I run uniblue registry cleaner and have found hundred of suspicious programs on my pc. When I wanted to remove them i received an alert that I need to purchase this program. Do I have an integrated tool in NIS 2008 to clean the registry? Thank you in advance.

how can I clean registry keys from norton internet security?

August 23, 2009

Help. Does anyone know what registry keys to modify/remove in order to wipe out all remnants of norton internet security 2006? I have tried the norton uninstaller tool already.

My problem is, I have purchased Norton internet security 2007, and it keeps associating it to the key I had installed for Norton Internet Security 2006, even though that product has been removed. I never am given a chance to enter my NIS 2007 key. Norton software claims that my subscription has already expired – since it is counting days based on my old 2006 key.

This is a legitimately purchased NIS 2007, ebay of course, but legal with a 365 day key.
