Clean It Time

Hi, my computer is incredibly slow on startup, I don’t know what to do anymore. There are not too many apps, I have no viruses, 50% free memory, I use Registry Easy and CCleaner daily but my computer still takes about 30 minutes after I open my session until it is ready to operate. Does someone know how to speed it up without adding RAM or Formatting my PC?

There are lots of problems which make your pc slow.
Microsoft Registry Problems = Slow Computer!
Spyware/Adware

De-Fragmenting
Etc.

Below can help you speed up your pc:

I. De-Fragmenting
1. Right click of C Disk.
2. Click properties.
3. Click tools tab.
4. Click "Defragment now".
5. Click Defragment.

Under steps:

I use Glary Utilities and CCleaner,but Glary always picks up problems with "H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE".

Why,and how do I stop this?

I have this issue too; maybe there’s some nasty spyware/adware/virus/malware hidden that hasn’t been taken care of yet. Try downloading a free version of Avast! anti-virus, scan, and see if any errors pop up or download Windows OneCare, a free program that scans your computer for any spyware/viruses, and helps you fix your registry.

After getting the system fix virus and getting the computer working again I can’t get to all of my programs that are still shown as being in the computer. I used RegCur and it said that I have registry problems that needed to be fixed. How do I do that with out paying for them to fix that. I suspect that they my be the ones that started the virus in the first place.

You could use either Ccleaner or Glary Utilities to fix your registry.

You might end up having to reinstall the OS at any rate, mind you.

I now have Avast,Advanced Care,Glary Utilities and USB disc security….I just want the free stuff. Thank you in advance.

CCleaner is still a must-have because you should always use it right after surfing the Internet. It’s registry cleaner is also good, but not as powerful as Glary and Advanced (System?) Care. Also, be careful using two powerful cleaners like Glary and Advanced System Care. Both have strong tools to keep your system optimized, but they can also remove important files. Keep those backups until you know for sure if cleaning has done any harm. I would use one or the other, not both. Advanced System Care is more powerful.

Some other important freeware to have which you can find at Filehippo.com:

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
SpywareBlaster (Immunize against Active-X malware)
Spybot Search and Destroy (Also immunize)
If those previous two slow your browsing, you can un-immunize.
Recuva (For file or data recovery and secure deletion/overwriting)
I also have Smart Defrag 2 Beta 3 which is from IObit (Advanced System Care)

What Firewall are you using?

The same folks who make CCleaner also make a free program called Speccy you might want to check out. The link for Filehippo has some good screenshots to give you an idea of it’s functionality. It gives you a great snapshot of your system.

Here’s a review from CNET –

I get the ads for the registry cleaner and wondered if they are worth it.

Registry cleaners will clean your registry, increasing performance slightly, but also making your system less prone to crashes.

These programs can help you clean your registry for free. I personally like CCleaner and Advanced WindowsCare Personal because they do more than just clean my registry.

1) CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system – allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. CCleaner also fixes your registry. But the best part is that it’s fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware.

2) Advanced WindowsCare Personal is a comprehensive PC care utility that takes a one-click approach to help protect, repair, and optimize your computer.

4) Registry Distiller is a free registry cleaner that will optimize your system by removing obsolete and incorrect information from the registry, resulting in a faster computer that is less prone to errors.

5) TweakNow RegCleaner Standard is a free registry cleaner that will scour your system’s registry for useless/unneeded registry entries and optionally remove these for you. These entries are often left behind after the removal of software, cluttering the registry and possibly hindering your system’s overall performance.

CCleaner is great. CCleaner and Advanced WindowsCare Personal do more than just clean the registry but there are other free ones to choose from:

i already have Ccleaner and registry mechanic but i want to know if there’s a better one that cleans your computer good, and makes it faster.

u should try….tune up utilities………..//

it works good & m using it since 3 yrs….never found ny problem………//

njoy………..//

I’ve had my laptop for around 4 years and its really starting to get bogged down. I thought maybe it was viruses or spyware that was causing it, but after multiple scans with Webroot and MalwareBytes it has shown no infections. I’ve heard that the registry may need to be cleaned to get the system working faster again- can anyone recommend a good, free registry cleaner?

Ccleaner is pretty nice, but Comodo Registry Cleaner picks up a lot more.

Comodo is new to the market and is free, after scanning with ccleaner, run the comodo, you’ll be surprised with how much it pick sup on it’s first run that ccleaner missed.

After running either of those, i would suggest running "CleanUP!" It is by farsuperiorr to Ccleaner in removing temp files. it can be found at http://www.stevengould.org/index.php?Itemid=223&id=29&option=com_content&task=view

Defragging the hard drive is also a good idea when the registry and temp files are removed. The built in windows Defrag utilities work pretty well, but i enjoy defraggler as a free utility.

Run the registry cleaners until they quit finding errors, 1 pass does not do it normaly.

Im reading mixed reviews on "Free Window Repair Registry" it seems people either hate it, or love it.

I also see that people recommend,
Regcure
CCleaner
Eusing FRC

So what do you recommend as the best way to clean the registry?

CCleaner has worked wonders for me for years. I especially use the reg cleaner to get rid of traces of files i have uninstalled. It works great also when i want to restart a trial of a program that i have uninstalled previously. I don’t trust any other program to do that for me. It’s too risky to try others also.

I have registry fis 32 bit,and I liked the way it helped clear all of the errors. Is there one out there? I also used cyber scrub. Is there a 64 bit version and what do you think these 2 programs will cost. Verry confused lol ejeaon.
