My new computer came with a 4 year subscription to Trend Micro Titanium, and I downloaded Microsoft Security Essencials (or whatever it is called)along with C Cleaner, Malewarebytes and I uninstall with RevoUninstaller. Microsoft and Trend seem to be working well together. On Malwarebytes I left everything at default, what was checked I left checked and what wasn't checked I left it unchecked. With C Cleaner I don't do the registry.Is there anything in that line I am missing?

I checked my old mail and he uses Wise, this is a quote from Keith's post this May: "Each of those programs serves a separate and individual purpose. The Avast is your Anti-Virus and SHOULD NOT be removed. The Wise Registry cleaner will help to keep your machine running faster as windows does not remove all the "stuff" in the registry when you remove a program. Wise will do just that and clean up and keep the size down on the registry which will help to keep the machine running faster. CCleaner will clean other parts of the system and machine to also help keep the machine running faster. Smart Defrag is a better program than the windows defragging one and again will help to keep the machine running better. The Ad-Aware is to remove malware and adware. Remember, this and some of the others have updates to parts as well as full program updates and it pays to keep these updated in order to have them perform up to expectations. I have or have used all of these as well as several others to keep the machine safe. Even with all that I have, I have been hit twice by 'nasties' that took considerable work to remove. All that you can do to keep the machine clean and protected is worth the space and work to keep them up to date.

Whoa there,, lets hang on a minute.Unless we are talking about paid subscriptions and program suites I can't agree with your statements.Number 1 ; AVG is primarily a AV program which performs it's functions moderately well in most systems configs, and is not a a trojan program although it can detect SOME trojan like and malware activety in the free program. On win7 systems MSE handily whips the snot outta of AVG .On other hand, Malwarebytes has a proven track record in the free version of detecting and eliminating trojans and most malware. If it has a downfall it would be that it doesn't update automatically in the free version and requires you to initiate a manual scan, but hey it's free and does a great job. Show me another program that doesn't throw a false positive once n while, even in their paid versions and I'll buy it. Another great malware/trojan free program is SuperAntiSpyware, which is a bit more intrusive, but that is because it runs actively, hence you will see a small performance hit Most false positives are the result of poor programming efforts by developers and or lack of maintaining system and program updates. Applications that depend on routines that exhibit trojan like behavior although benign trigger these warnings. When in doubt, 99% of the time a google search will provide the answer as to whether it is a false positive or not. Start with the program provider and go from there. As for reg errors, come on, give me a break,,in the consumer market most the reg scanners that they try to sell people report errors that have nothing to do with affecting system performance, or function. Don't believe me, go ahead and us scanreg, and when its done, download one of those so called reg fixers and look at the list it still says is a problem,,BS,,,most are bits of debris left over from uninstalled apps and no longer used modified OS files and other junk that is no longer required. In the consumer realm I have never seen any gains in performance by cleaning the registry or any gain in usable storage capacity in any system. CCleaner if left in the default config is and easy to use application that will work for the majority of users with little chance of screwing up their system. Number one lessen anyone needs to learn is how to make a backup copy of the registry and how to merge it back in if needed. CCleaner does that. Number two, every user should learn how to start their system in safe mode. As much as it pains me to say it, the best security suite in the consumer market out there is, Nortons. It has finally rid it itself of the enormous bloat and resource hog it used to be, made itself a lot easier to use. So before advocating users to dump a proven winner based solely on the fact it gives a false positive once and awhile I would be very interested what exactly you would advise them to replace it with? Keep in mind that many on this list don't have unlimited software budgets. While I have many expensive disk management tools in my arsenal as a necessity, I would hardly recommend them for the average none geek user.

They will fight with each other, and the results will be a disaster. Pick one application you can trust and remove the others. My personal opinion. Dump malwarebytes. It has too many false positives. Before I retired a few years ago, I always used to install AVG on my clients computers. All registry cleaners will mess up your system if they are not used with care. Have you not used the Windows Registry Checker tool (scanreg.exe) At a command prompt run *scanreg /fix* Having said that, if you have 1200 errors in your registry, you have a serious problem, and it may be time for a complete rebuild.

Oh, jeepers, don't anyone stop giving computer advice! I am so out of whack here - hubby's been ill for the last 5 yrs., I didn't keep up and my computer took a dump in September of this year, bought a new one with Win7, 64 bit & I have no idea what I do have on here or don't have on here nor what I should have on here. :) It would be really, nice if someone (anyone) would list the suggested 'protection' programs according to the Windows version the user has, how to install them (or see if they are stock Windows programs and are already runnin) for those of us (like me) who need a kick in the butt to protect their computer investment and get up to speed.

Windows 7 also doesn't do a CAD. We just have to learn. CCleaner has a "scan for issues" that will check out the registry. Be sure to back it up (it will offer) and do not alter the default settings unless you are removing an item. I.E., I like to keep my search history, it's as easy to find something there as in bookmarks.

Often times pension records will include both. Plus other helpful information. Knowing the name, time period and unit would open up more avenues for searching. I was not even sure it was Army.

Isn't Maxine looking for his Army service record as opposed to a 'pension record'?

Hi illya, Looks great to me - nice - clean - uncomplicated! I also like your color scheme. Yvonne On 12/8/2011 9:36 AM, Illya D'Addezio wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I'm making some home page changes for 2012, and would like to get some > feedback... <snip>

Thanks Elaine, I use CCleaner as well and do back up before I clean. I might be using Registry recklessly however because when I receive the result of the scan, then backup, I "Fix Selected Issues". Perhaps I need to Google and find out if I am using it properly. Actually on my Registry Cleaner all the boxes are checked - I have never changed it so that must be default right? I will do some studying up on CCleaner and make sure I am using it correctly.

I can't use "scanreg" or "scanreg /fix" on my Windows 7 from my prompt it says error message can't find the program. yun - error message saysit can't find the program.

Which war and his name and I will check Footnote, but all I can do is see if he is there.
