Cleaner? I have quite a few programs, and I'd like to narrow it down to 1 or 2, and get rid of some of the installed stuff on my computer.. Right now I have installed:


CCleaner
Spybot
Lavasoft Ad-aware
Xp Tools Pro
Tweak XP Pro
Xp antispy
Tuneup Utilities 2006
Registry Mechanic
Ewido


thats about it i suppose... blah

Ad-aware, spybot are both topnotch.I have had ccleaner, it's alright as well.I don't personally recommend registry mechanic, caused me several problems with multiple pc's.Etrust Pestpatrol is another good one.

I agree with weevil! Ad-aware & spybot have kept my system clean for a year with no problems.

anal cleaning is best. Regedit> delete the gunk yourself

For one click programs .. spybot is good. Adaware cleans also puts adware on your system Your next virus scan. Look you ll see adaware

What do I know. I m not even a real blonde

Actually, the best thing to use for both Virus and spyware is Symantec Anti-Virus Corporate Editon V.10. Cleans and protects against just about everything. Of course you need to shell out some $$$ to get it, but I've never had to worry about virus or spyware with it If you need something cheaper that does a good job on spyware/adware the go to Webroot's website and look into spysweeper. It does a pretty good job as well. Can't say I've ever liked Norton's home/residental/consumer stuff.
