Hi, I have done a registry boosteron my laptop and it says i have a high amount of system related errors and moderate user related errors. Is there a programme i can use to get rid of these errors instead of paying them. Ive heard of malwarebytes should i download that and will that hopefully make it run faster ? Thank you

Malwarebytes will help if it finds anything unwanted

You can download a fully functional trial of tune-up, at a guess it won't find as many items as the other one, leave the e-mail blank to avoid nags to buy when the trial is up

Or you can use CCleaner to see what that finds, click to back up the registry when the scan for issues has run

Untick any toolbars it may want to install0 -
honestly i would be very wary of these kind of so-called registry cleaning products ( i would almost go as far as saying they are a total con). If your pc is running un-usually slow i would suggest a fresh install after back-up or a defrag,0

Forget using this kind of snake oil. Unless there's something not working, leave the registry alone. There is no program that can magically make it quicker. Most break more than they allege to fix.0 -

Sounds good to me lol. By fresh install do you mean restore to factory settings etc and then a defrag ? If so how do i go about it. thanks ? Hopeless woman here.... well hopeless with pc s not everything0 -

Your re asking the wrong one here lol but from what bit of information ive understood regarding pc s its a programme that points out all the errors on your system.They get rid of 100 free apparently and give you the choice of paying to get rid of the rest or leaving them there.0 -

Thank you. With my limited knowledge im now going to attempt these.0 -
If you get to read this ahead of running those, you can post what it finds if you want to check whether anything they suggest removing is OK0

I'd be a bit wary of what you're currently using.
To clean carp off your system use CCleaner.
To clean the registry use [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Eusing Free Registry Cleaner, its reliable, and never hurt my system, unlike other paid for varieties.
