  Take these tips from long-standing MS MVP Robear Dyer:

  If you ever think that your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, cured, twisted, fixed or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.

• Is there a registry cleaner Microsoft recommends for XP SP3?

  SP3 is a very slow and bumpy ride.

  Using a registry cleaner is only likely to create a new even more intractable problem so I would recommend that you drop this idea.

  BTW the tis is not Microsoft even if you will meet staff of Support technique Microsoft in these forums. The forums are a peer to peer self-help support group.

  It is always sensible in this situation to achieve a malware check

  Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

  Download and run SuperAntiSpyware (Free Edition)

  Some malware is installing the entries of proxy server redirecting internet connections. If you encounter this problem step 2 see in the following link:

• on the home page, the symbol of firefox has disappeared and there is an ad for registry cleaner?

  Yesterday, my homepage has changed - there is no normal firefox symbol with the little Fox hug th Earth. Just four color wheel, next to him "search results" then the field empty to enter in a search. Below that is an ad for a registry cleaner. It presents the new homepage of firefox?

  Hello, this looks like a problem maybe caused by adware on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

  Remove a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the homepage search
  Fix Firefox problems caused by malicious software

  afterwards please install the reset search addon - he'll come back more often customizations make these adware programs in default firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

• Is there a cleaner free update for old updates of windows. mine go back to 2010. If I delete them manually. I have to restart my computer for each of them.

  is there a cleaner free update for old updates of windows. mine go back to 2010. If I delete them manually. I have to restart my computer for each of them. How to remove the 'old' and what goes back to remove.it looks like repetitions of 6 years

  Cleaning Windows Update option is available only when you log on with administrator permissions.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, right-click on disk cleanup, click on Run as Administrator. Scroll the menu drop down and you should see the option of cleaning of Windows Update. Check the box before this option.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options , the System Restore tab and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

• What is the best way to correct the registry errors without the use of a registry cleaner in XP?

  I am sorry to raise this issue that so many people who have asked me.  I read pages and pages of discussions on the MS forum on this subject, and without exception, all the experts said Microsoft registry cleaners are completely unnecessary and that junk in the registers has no performance impact at all.  Instead, they say, to do x, y and z.  I am running Windows XP on my desk for five years, and gradually, he got so slow it's almost unbearable.  It takes 10-15 minutes just to start, and sometimes it takes 2 minutes or more just to open a window of browser (IE8) or go to the previous page by using the arrow to the left.  Before you tell me all the things it could be, please let me say that:

  1. my PC has not always been this slow!  It is getting worse.

  2. all my Windows software is up to date.  I have automatic updates on.

  3. I have a lot of disk space, almost 75% of free space on a hard drive of 80 GB.

  4. my PC is free of viruses, spyware and Trojans.  I have McAfee antivirus running and I also sometimes run Malwarebytes and Trojan Killer, because they always find things that don't have McAfee.

  5. I defragment my hard drive on a regular basis.

  6. I regularly delete all my temporary files by using the Windows Disk Cleanup utility.

  7. I have very little, if any "Add-ons".  No toolbar Yahoo or Google (or Bing!).

  8. I removed nearly every program that I start, so that they are not running in the background.

  9. I uninstalled all the programs that I don't use.

  However, I still have a slow ever-more computer.  Sometimes, when I see ads on TV to increase the speed of my PC, I download the 'free' software, and they claim to find hundreds or thousands of "registry errors.  When I look at the newspapers, I see many entries in registry for 'Netscape' and 'Google Earth', which I uninstalled years ago, as well as entries for the videos that I downloaded, seen once, and deleted a long time ago.

  So, what's the problem?  If it's not related to my registry (which Trojan Killer says has more 6 000 entries!), what else could be?  I would appreciate greatly any advice you can give, because there are dozens of companies on their touting their registry cleaners and the uninstall (for a price) programs, and after reading reviews of the MS MVPs, I'm skeptical of their claims.  Thank you.  :)

  I can't disagree with a lot of things have already been said.

  I'm willing to accept that your machine does actually takes 10 to 15 minutes on the clock. It's completely absurd.

  Some people call your "Windows Rot" problem. Becomes just the slower windows over time. It is a collection of things that are happening in the background. Yes I believe that the register contributes. Using a registry cleaner is not a "magic" solution But it can help a little.

  The PC care program/process you described is above average.  I suggest you add CCleaner. Disk Cleanup is not bad, CCleaner is better, cleaning of other stuff which does not resemble the DC. It won't be a significant difference because disk space is not your problem, but it will help a little.

  'Play' with the registry is VERY risky. If you decide to go ahead, I would say that first make you a copy of the full image backup using a utility that can be started and run from a CD/DVD. Just in case the registry cleaner breaks of your machine.

  Registry cleaners is that they take a "best estimate" to what is no longer necessary. Sometimes they think wrong. And each vacuum cleaner will clean slightly different sets of places.  If the tool does not provide a way to back up the registry before you start cleaning, do not use it. He is not careful enough.

  If vacuuming offer 'levels' of cleaning, enjoy. Open for more aggressive cleaning, with resetting and long series of normal use between cleanings.

  You are looking for a tool which also makes registry "defragmentation". The registry is a database that get disorganized by additions and deletions. Defragmentation will be re - organize and get rid of a 'lost' space, making it the smallest file, afterwards faster to read.  It is not something you need to do frequently, but since you've never done it in 5 years, it would help, after cleaning registry.

  Another place to find CPU and RAM wasted resources is Windows Services. These are small programs that start at boot time. They run in the background and provide support services to all applications or specific applications.  Many applications services are running even though you don't really need them. You can find information on which you can set by Googling for 'Windows XP hardening'. There are a lot of sites with good information. They call it hardening because by disabling unnecessary stuff, you leave less possible openings for the "bad guys" to the attack.

  Ultimately, I think your best bet will simply bite the bullet and re - install windows and all your applications. It's the best way to restore your computer to almost any performance fees factory. (It is not exactly factory fresh because you need to add a ton of Windows updates).

  Before you re-install, do copy image 1 or more full backups. At least one must be done using a tool that will easily allow you to extract the files. You data backup files separately to make it easier to restore the reinstallation. IE, copy it to a USB key.

  Many "experts" actually expect to, and do, re - install windows every 6-12 months!  I think it's a bit exaggerated, but they swear by it.

  Once you do your re - install, create a copy of the magnified image
  Install a firewall application (before the windows updates)
  Once you do all updates of windows, create a copy of the magnified image
  After that you re-install all your apps, create another copy of the complete picture.

  In this way, in the future, you have more current points to restore your computer to. It will reduce the time you spend to get back to the current configuration.

  On a 5 year old XP machine, you have probably 512 MB - 1 GB of RAM. You might also consider taking in the shop (or DIY) and bump the RAM up to at least 2 GB or better still max out.  The current versions of the applications use much more memory than they did 5 years ago. Even XP will be since he has been seriously corrected since then.

• I have Microsift Essentials, but do I need a registry cleaner also

  I don't know if Microsoft Essentials is also a record. I don't know a lot about the registry, but asked me to buy one after that I ran the free scan. The analysis said that I had more than 100 errors. I don't know if they are just trying to sell me something I don't need it or not.

  Essentially if you used a registry cleaner and it has an undo feature you should use and uninstall the program. I not worry - or do whatever it is - on the registry entries found by a registry cleaner. Even if you have some additional registry entries, they will not affect how Windows XP/Vista/7 to perform a strand. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• How to determine what registry errors to remove safely when using a registry cleaner

  I installed a recommended by Microsoft free registry cleaner, it gives me a list of the elements in the registry. but more I don't know if I should remove it or not.  There is more obvious deleted programs I deleted, but how do I know what to look for in other items, such as empty registry records, etc..

  the simple answer is NONE.

  All the "" registry cleaners are designed to produce numbers enough - and the real value of the changes is at best questionable.

  Most of the registry cleaners will cause problems with the system sooner or later (usually earlier) and should be avoided at all costs.

  There is no such thing as a "good registry cleaner except the knowledge and experience of your own system.

• is a registry cleaner program a good investment for a slow computer?

  Hello.

  My computer is slow and late, most of the time when I go on facebook the freez the computer for 10-15 seconds, then the page comes on. The more problems I have on facebook is when I go to the games (the game will load completely and before it begins, it closes and recharge again.) Sometimes it's just the game freez and I click on "Home" to leave the game and I have to return the game to continue playing). Now, the problem is not only on Facebook, I use it as an example. I searched on google and I want to know if a registry cleaner might help. Some websites you says it's good, some sites say it's a scam most registers are useless. I'm running on Windows Vista business and I have Kaspersky Lab Internet Security 2013, and I have my computer, run a defrag every week. If I need a registry, I saw a couple of sites for this and the other says it's best 'RegClean Pro' and another said 'RegZooka.  Also is there a Web site that is 'kosher' and reliable software. There are SO many scams.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

  Yves.

  Absolutely not. Most are scams.

  In any case, those who are not is dangerous. There is no central reference to the registry. Each program or driver, including Windows, it uses as it sees fit. Recommended by microsoft parts are specified by a particular product with no coordination team. Noone has knowledge of a deep understanding of the tens of thousands of programs.

  The unused parts of the registry do not affect the registry.

  Internet Explorer

   

  To improve performance for IE, you can reset internet Explorer to the factory settings. This will disable memory addons chewing and bar tools, etc. that you've installed over time.

  In Internet Explorer click on Tools in the bar and then Internet Optionscommand. Go to the Advanced tab, and then click the Reset button.

• RegCure Registry Cleaner?

  .. .the questions...

  (1) what is - this? an antivirus? Antimalware? anti - what?

  (2) I see that it provides a free analysis... but you have to download it... It is not an online scanner?

  (3) given that the free scan must be downloaded onto the computer, opposes with anything? (I have a norton 360, malwarebytes, Adaware and Prevx on my computer) "

  (4) the downloadable free scan is just a trial? or is it still free?

  (5) is recommended?

  Hello

  ALL registry programs that claim they can cure a lot of system errors is a warning
  that you don't want on your system. Even the best registry programs rarely solve
  problems in the system. All registry programs too often similar such as RegCure cause serious problems.
  There are a few good registry programs but they do not have these ridiculous allegations
  and they really need to be used by an expert who knows how to recover from a hiccup.

  ALWAYS make a Restore Point before you do systemic work.

  Seems that these sites that encourage these poor products are all part of the scam. This includes a couple
  or legitimate products (if any), then all their products higher rate and they are often virtually the
  even.

  Unless you know how to recover from a wandering deletion and which can be extremely difficult sound better not
  use a registry cleaner. They "fix" very little and 'BREAK' a lot

  Run RegCure uninstaller C:\Program Files\RegCure\uninst.exe

  Check the info here:
  http://www.ParetoLogic.com/resources/help/RegCure/source/uninstall.html

  Or use Revo to uninstall:

  If RegCure is running use TaskManager to close (end) - right click on the taskbar - task manager

• Recommendation for a good registry cleaner?

  For purposes of maintenance, looking for a good registry cleaner, ran the cleaner in Norton security suite, but have stopped using Norton because of other problems.

  There is no such beast

  The registry requires no cleaning and hasn't since at least Windows XP

  Cleaners registry and other types of "SpeedUpMyPc" programs, or paying for that free be snake oil and in the worst cases render the sys or unusable programs
