Please advise best free Vista registry cleaner

Hi ppeetteerr. If you don't mind me asking why do you need a registry cleaner? Are you having a specific problem with your computer that you think a registry cleaner will fix?

There are many other ways of increasing your computers performance and fixing computer problems without having to resort to so called computer optimizers and registry cleaners that claim they can speed up and repair your computer.

Besides, most of the system optimizers claim that they can tweak hidden settings in your system when in reality most of those tweaks and optimizations you can do yourself. I would stay away from these types of programs since they offer no increase in your computers performance and in some cases they can even damage your computer and cause it to become unbootable.

However if you are aware of the risks and dangers of using a registry cleaner then you can try Regseeker.

Use at your own risk!

 

Best registry cleaner = no registry cleaner!

 

DITTO - one wrong step means you've turned your pc into a boat anchor. And if its a laptop - it won't even work as a boat anchor

 

Did it get slow over night?
What is the history behind the problem?
I would get rid of Adaware and get SuperAntiSpyware.

 

I would also remove Norton since that program alone is probably the main reason why your computer is slow. Also how much RAM and what processor do you have? To find this information click Start< Right click My Computer and click properties. Under the general tab it will tell you what processor and the amount of RAM your computer has installed.

But you have not completed the task to make them visible in your posts - from here ....

 

Excellent

 

Your hardware seems adequate. I would try this, click Start< Control Panel< Uninstall a program and remove any programs that you don't use including Norton Antivirus. Also how many processes do you have running in Task Manager?

 

Good job with uninstalling Norton. To make sure Norton has been completely removed from your computer download and run the Norton Removal Tool.

Also to disable some unused Windows Processes I would remove any programs that you don't use and disable any Windows Services that you don't use by following Black Vipers Services Guide.

For security programs I would recommend, Malware Bytes AntiMalware. And Spyware Blaster.

 

That's quite a few. My Vista with nothing additionally installed shows 41 running. Since you only have 1GB of RAM, I suggest you try removing some running background processes.
