pop ups/spyware registry cleaners?

August 25, 2009

I keep getting these "offers" in the form of pop ups to scan my computer for adware, malware and registry cleaners too. I have ran my Web root spyware program as well as my avast anti virus to no avail. These "offers" seem to be slowing the internet substantially on my one computer. Though the rest of that computer seems to working fine. How do I get rid of these popups. I have set my internet security and privacy at high levels. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Programs I can download to stop this. Please help

Completely Free Registry Cleaners That Scan & Fix?

August 21, 2009

I need a free registry cleaner. The registry cleaners I currently have are:

CCleaner
Eusing
Abexo
Advanced Windows Care
Tweaknow
AML

Yes I know I have a lot, but each one finds different errors, so I guess I have more errors on my computer (plus its gotten really, really slow and I have 3.5 GB RAM and a 3.2ghz dual core processor and my other windows 98 computer runs faster than it).

So anyways thanks if you know of any other free ones!

Do registry cleaners really work?

August 15, 2009

Do registry cleaners actually work and if so, which is the best and what is the best spyware/adware dectection and removal progrms? Does webroot spy sweeper incorporate a registry cleaner? How do I know if I need a registry cleaner? The computers seem to work will and after using selective start up they boot faster but a program KBD.EXE occasionally fails on the desktop. I have downloaded two registry cleaners and of course both say that the registry needs to be cleaned and I am concerned this is all a sort of scam. I now have remnants of these registry cleaners in my start up program, which I have disabled but I want to know how to remove them from the start up list. Thank you for your help.

When do you think it’s a good time to reformat?

August 13, 2009

I heard you should reformat your PC atleast once a year because of all the crap you’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and etc. Is this true? My PC is still running in tip top shape, very fast, no problems, responsive.. I only have 23 processes boot up and I keep everything tight and clean with registry cleaners, spyware/malware scans and nod32 for virus protection.

Do you think it’s worth a reformat?

Honestly, what would I be benefitting from with the current condition of my machine?
(Asking now because this week, I do have the time and effort to get it done)

Thanks in advance,

Dom
