Glary utilities

I see occasionally this has been recommended as a useful tool in the seemingly never ending fight against malware. How good is it? Is it worth me downloading the free pro version from giveawayoftheday.com ? I don't tend to have that many problems with my PC, mainly because !!!!!! sites are banned lol. Any views would be appreciated.

    Its got nothing to do with removing malware. If you want a tool that does similar then CCLEANER is the safest to use

    I already use CCleaner occasionally, along with Spybot S&D and Spywareblaster, and after advice on here dumped AVG for Avast. Is there any need for me to download Glary or is it something I'll probably never need? It seems to be an all in one tool.

    Unless you have a specific problem you think it 'might' be able to deal with (Its main function is to remove dead registries), I certainly wouldnt bother

    What you SHOULD download and use is MALWAREBYTES (Which is a program to remove malware etc)
