An EXPERT out there could help please in me time saying its safe to use SpeedMaxPc or not and justify why?
It is * not * secure. She and all of these programs, avoid as
the plague.
Registry cleaning programs are * all * snake oil. Cleaning of the
registration is not necessary and is dangerous. Let alone register and
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
delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
It can have.
Read http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000643.html

and also
http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/Archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-Windows-fact-of-life.aspx
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
important * risk * to have a problem. And since there is no
benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
good deal.

any suggestions of what toolbars are safe and useful
Hi Any suggestions on any toolbars that are safe and useful? I have a dell dimension 4700 xp home edition and use Mozilla firefox, (do not remember what version) no beta version, I know that. I run the super spy and bases of Microsoft Security everyday something or other on request. I'm very careful about what I do with this computer. It was a gift for me and with all the help on the forum and a few consultations some Microsoft Engineers I have this computer runs smooth.
I appreciate all suggestions on the subject from the toolbar, what I really want, it's one with favorites, who does not have the one I have.Thank you
Gina Davis
Hello
Since you are using FireFox you must check with their Support and Forums. Also check with your
favorite search engine when considering a toolbar. Be careful because some questionable programs
sites for the express purpose of providing a positive assessment of their programs. However, using a suspicious
eye and logical salt usually allows to recognize those designed for this kind of deception.Support for Firefox

After getting scammed by some fake tech support... my computer is still safe to use?
More than two places to check (the second is obviously only valid if you are using Windows Firewall; if you use a third party firewall instead, see your user's guide or the help system application for how to manage exceptions to the firewall blocking rules):
Control Panel > system > Remote tab
make sure that no
"Allow Remote Assistance invitations sent from this computer".
or
"Allow users to connect remotely to this computer".are checked.
Control Panel > Windows Firewall > exceptions tab
Browse products "programs and services" and make sure that the only items that are checked are the application you WANT to be able to pass through the Windows Firewall

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.

Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
