Tonight I ran regcure.com and it said I had over 1,000 errors that would cause this problem: Such as empty registry keys-412, file path ref-697 and program shortcuts-157, etc. You can buy their program for about $37 dollars which will fix all these problems. My question is this a good program and will it speed up my HP Pavilion. Is it cost effective? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

I looked into the same program for a client one time. I found a free version that I liked as much as regcure.com, so i went with that. I have it available for download from my site. here's the link if you would like to get it.

Lately, I've been seeing a malware infestation of antivirus360. It claims to be an antivirus package, but it really is just very annoying. always popping up ads to purchase it, claiming that sites you may visit on a regular basis are infected, and to "protect" you from the site, to purchase their program. It also slows down your internet browsing considerably. I've used Spybot search and destroy to remove it, as well as AVG Free edition. AVG Free edition is what I install on client's computers if they don't have an antivirus package, or theirs is outdated. both programs are good, but like any antivirus / antispyware utility, you need to update them on a regular schedule for them to be effective.
Other things to think of when cleaning up your computer are all the programs that are installed. If there are programs that you installed and don't use anymore, uninstall them. If you have purchased a new printer or all in one machine, uninstall the old drivers and software for the printer it replaced.
