Are there any good ones that do the job correctly? I can't seem to find a decent one, all are test them out, you have 19,000 errors fix them for 97$ which sucks ass. My main comp is riddled with reg errors and virus'. Kids been playing on them along with other family members. I had zone alarm Firewall and AVG but AVG seems to pick up on the non-virus' and let the harmful ones in. Any help appreciated!
 
I only use two things to keep my PC running smoothly:

eset NOD32 smart security and CCleaner.

Everyone has their own opinion as to which AV is the best. NOD32, Kaspersky and Norton 360 2.0 are all highly recommended.

I can tell you from vast experience that AVG is notorius for false positives and is generally scorned by expirienced users.


CCleaner is one of the best free tools that I have found. It has a registry repair function that is made-for-dummies simple. It's effectiveness in that regard is debateable but I have never had any trouble with it nor has it ever harmed my OS in an attempt to repair the registry. I can't say as much for the others that I have tried.

I am using hijackthis to clear my registry. Its a very good software but it will require some knowledge of windows registry. Otherwise you can use windows registry cleaner.
 
ccleaner is good. and free. i've been using it with norton 360 2.o as well
 
Actually I lied. There is one more thing that I am currently using but it has nothing to do with the registry. It's a HDD maintenence tool that prevents (or at least limits) defragmentation in REAL time. Diskkeeper Pro. Definitely worth looking into.
 
Just an FYI. There is a rise is fake virus programs going around. So make sure that if you are scanning your computer it is with a real software downloaded from a legit site.
 
TuneUp Utilities is another great tool.. Uniblue is also good.
