I'm over the moon Wish I could spend it on luxuries but it'll give us a much needed break and mean I can finally have my car back. Never realised how much I'd miss it with having 2 children.

is it a registry cleaner? i think ive d/l that one before and it !!!!ed me off no end by repeatedly telling me i had issues and asking for money and never fixing anything. id suggest delete it form your harddrive now tbh.

download ccleaner.....it will clean browsers/cookies etc but can also search and fix registry issues. ive been using it for a while, good 6mths and aim for once a week but its mnor elike once a month gettign it to scan and fix registry issues......and its free also will if you want create a backup before fixing registry stuff so you can restore if necessary, but ive never had to.

and i agree with ac, malwarebytes is excellent and should also be run weekly, it finds stuff for me that adaware and spybot fail to find so i gave up on the other 2 and just use malware now.

and im finding avira antivirus good (avg started draining too many resources on my system and seriously slowed puter down), aside form the daily buy me pop up it produces when it updates itself .

mrsd well done, pleased it went to someone who could really use it

pc pitstop only tests the PC ...anything it finds you can fix yourself

if you look at the results and the bits that are flagged one at a time ....like running programs, it will tell you what you really need to be running, and which you don't and can turn off.
It will tell you if you are full of junk files or short on disk space too...

Dont pay for anything, that's just sponsors trying to sell you summat that you don't need.

DEFRAGGLER is another good one I use, made by same people who do ccleaner. Also recuva good for totally uninstalling things

I feel so stupid :doh: I know so little about this thing I sit in front of for hours every day! I have Macafee and thought it was all I needed. It'd pop up and do its stuff every few days, never find enything so I thought all was ok.

Don't know how far the maleware thingy has got but its detected 26 infected items! that's not good is it?
