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.

http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

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:

  • is there a registry cleaner free

    Is there a registry cleaner free of Microsoft?

    It has been/is a registry cleaner in Windows Live One Care safety analysis.

    Years, they released a product called RegClean 4 which was necessary to maintain the size of the registry, Win 9 x small enough so that it wouldn't crash the machine. He never removed the safer of the entries, and I guess that the OneCare registry cleaner works in the same direction.

    There are three types of registry cleaner.

    Type #1 does nothing but remove safer entries and has therefore no impact on performance.

    Note that the OneCare cleaner registry is just one part of a major clean-up operation and is not sold as the main element ' go faster '...

    #2 type removes entries more safe but also other flags entered as potential candidates for removal. This type can remove some features because it offers choices that cannot be fully understood by the user of the computer.

    #3 type promises realization just as it was when you were first of all the computer, but this is because the user must run the 'back to the factory' procedure to recover a work computer. In a perverse way, the statements are true, but the method to get '' there '' makes nothing better than scams.

    Microsoft is aware that the register used by Windows 2000 and all derivatives since actually ignore the orphan entries, and the maximum size of the registry is well above what any user could get it.

    If Windows 2000 > registry Gets a big enough mistake, you never get the chance to use a registry cleaner because Windows does not start in any case. Manual registry and reconstruction removal, it is not always successful of success and the amount of commands must be typed exactly, or there is a risk of worse... not that it can do a lot worse than a computer that does not start in the mode of... (-:

    Microsoft also knows what a registry cleaner used on Windows 2000 > can improve performance when used as the only tool.

    To this day, I don't understand why Microsoft never included a registry cleaner in the OnerCare package. All it does is keep the living myth that registry cleaners have value, opening the door to every registry scam cleaner...

    It is best to avoid contact with the registry cleaners.

  • 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.

    Not only is # not necessary, that's a very bad thing to do.

    Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the

    do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
    What software record cleaning suppliers are trying to convince you,
    have unused registry entries is not really make you hurt.
    The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake

    Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
    use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
    problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
    the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
    cleaner and never had a problem with it.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
    the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
    benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
    good deal.

    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.
