What should I use as a PC cleanup utility besides Ccleaner, Defragmentor, and the cleanup stuff Windows offers?
What about Zonealarm PC Tune-up? I have used Ccleaner for a long time but shows extremely little effect. Please show me a utility that cleans up Windows, the registry, and has extra stuff like Start-up thing Ccleaner has and uninstall windows. I don’t care if it is a paid product, just please show me a good one.
Glary Utilities is a highly rated program that will do lots of things :
"Glary Utilities offers numerous powerful and easy-to-use system tools and utilities to fix, speed up, maintain and protect your PC. It allows you to clean common system junk files, as well as invalid registry entries and Internet traces. You can manage and delete browser add-ons, analyze disk space usage and find duplicate files. You can also view and manage installed shell extensions, encrypt your files from unauthorized access and use, split large files into smaller manageable files and then rejoin them. Furthermore, Glary Utilities includes the options to optimize memory, find, fix, or remove broken Windows shortcuts, manage the programs that start at Windows startup and uninstall software.

Best of all, it is free! Be careful with any program that supposedly "cleans" or fixes errors in your registry. The wrong changes can do MUCH more harm than good to your computer.
I also like PC Pitstop Optimize. It doesn’t do as many things as Glary Utilities, but it does some things that Glary does not. It is not rated as highly as Glary, but I have used it with great success. It is not free. The cost is about 30 dollars. You can download it here:

You can do more research at www.download.com under the "system utilities" category. It has editor’s reviews, user reviews, and publisher’s description. You can also narrow your results by price, operating system, and other options.

No, no, no. Never use an external program to cleanup or to fix your registry, unless you like reinstalling your operating system. Sooner or later they will make computer killing mistakes. The registry fix thing is a big farce. What you need to do is regular maintenance on your machine, like once a week. Start with emptying the Windows Prefetch folder. Delete everything in it. Then run Disc cleanup. Make sure the only boxes checked are Temp Internet Files, Recycle Bin, and Compress Old files. Then run Disc scan, checking only the second box. Then Defrag your hard drive. If you want to take it further go to pcstats.com Beginners’ Guides way down on the right. Start with guide #78, I think, about services running on your machine. Then go up to the beginning of the guides and use the 99 tips, 101, and 104 tips or the tips for Vista. Don’t try to overclock or mess with the BIOS. They will take you into the registry so be careful there. If you do what they say you will have a beast of a computer. Good luck.
