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 OK

Hi

I downloaded Registry Booster and it had bad reviews so I uninstalled it.

I got this one instead due to the good comments.

Sorry - what exactly is wrong with the laptop? Has some random PC appliaction advert convinced you to mess about with a working laptop or do you have a real proble?

Maybe the best thing to do is nothing if there is no specific problem.

My Dell Inspiron was recently running a bit sluggish & battery life was well down on what it should've been.Simply by running CCCleaner,stopping some start up programmes & switching off the 'Dell Dock,my system sped up considerably & extended battery life.
The is also a registry cleaner built into CCCleaner that I use with no bother.

what is registry booster? *or am i being too suspicious **//////////

I'd be very suspicious too. There's currently a lot of malware around masquerading as utilities:

I wouldnt touch 'tuneup utilities' either personally

Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
(do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)
If you get a message that you cant write to the hosts file then Press the SHIFT key, and whilst holding it RIGHT CLICK and select RUN AS (admin)

If you must use a registry 'tidying' app then TweakNow Regcleaner is reasonably safe and free also.

If you are trying to cure your iplayer speed problem, registry scanners aren't going to make any difference, this might, or it could just be your processor/net connection
