I am convinced that your responses to posts on a technical level leave much to be desired. I'll go further since I have personal experience of seeking help (and receiving it from you). Help which I ultimately found can best be described as flippant, even foolish. For example see here.

In your response above clearly demonstrated is a carelessness which, all too often, disgraces your writing and thinking.

You make no attempt to differentiate between your comment and quoted comment. And your summation of the outcome resulting from using CCleaner Registry clean "Kiss your pc goodbye" is dramatic, in error and therefore misleading to the TSG membership. This a freeware I have seen recommended by some of our most knowlegable members who work in the security and other fields of technical-help response.

You have the edit function and I suggest you use it. And in the case to which I link above please notice my response to your apparent offer of help - an offer which I now see was flippant and one to which you had no intention of returning.

What say you, Blackmirror?

aarhus2004.

What say me? I'd say you should stop trying to play moderator wannabe and if you have a problem with a post, do as everyone else is instructed to do...use the report post triangle

In a nutshell, this is the worst most destructive software of the bunch, in my opinion!

ive used Eusing Free Registry Cleaner for my registry and noticed a difference the first time i used it. ive used it many times and suffered no problems because of it. just adding on to what has been said =)

i would also like to add to 7. Applications Autorunning on Startup. theres a website i like to visit to check what a program or enty in the starup does to decided whether or not to disable it. it tells you what the entry is, does, and if its nessisary, optional, or not required/malware/virus/worm
