Hi Everyone: I just want to tell you that I am So very glad I purchased this registry cleaner. It is simply amazing what a wonderful difference it has made in the speed and easy flow of my computer. Comparing the difference between before and after the registry cleaner, is like night and day.

I have looked at others and checked out the cleaner that Rob recommended but they all ask you to make a decision on what to delete, etc. Since I know next to nothing about most of the items they found errors on, I could not work with such cleaner.

Luckily, I found another one which does not ask you to make the decisions. Instead, it allows you to tell it to Fix the Errors but they back up everything before that, then fix them, and have a place where you can Manage Your Registry. In this spot you can ENABLE or DISABLE various programs that are in your computer and often in the start slot. NO DELETING NECESSARY.

I have the program SCAN the computer at least once a day and sometimes twice a day. I can't believe the errors it keeps finding and then fixing. More problems somehow make their way into your computer all day long.

Really, I am very low on funds and this program cost me $49 for the year but I feel like it was something I simply could not do without. Much like tuning your car up, etc. You have to do it or it breaks.

I can't recommend you get a cleaner for yourself too much. Really Super Good.

Helen

Hello, I have had a really slow computer lately and on checking into it, by going to Kim Komando's site and downloading (free to download) one of the registry cleaners, that I had something like 431 errors, etc.

Of course, it would not repair all of them, only 15, and wanted me to purchase it before repairing the balance of them.

I found another one and decided to buy it, thinking that it might save me having to have a computer tech come in as often as I sometimes do. So far, I do think it has sped up my computer but only time will tell.

I referred this to others and many are inquiring about the value of doing a registry cleaner, etc. So I wonder if any of you have any thoughts about the registry cleaners, if you have one that is free, and if it works without user having to know whether to delete this or that.

Please reply publicly.


Thanks,

I usually suggest you dump your cache and temp files (if on IBM - I use Disk Clean Up for the temp files).

Also double click your computer on the desk top it should say "total size" and "free space". If you are low on free space that may explain it. I like to have about 10-15% free.

The last thought is run AdAware and SpyBot to check for leaches on your system and maybe a nice virus check like https://www.mcafee.com/us/

Good Luck!
