I personally prefer CCleaner to clean up my machines and to remove the garbage in the registry that was leftover from installs. But I also run Malwarebytes on my machines. Since my machines are usually clean, I do not get many hits. And if I do, I research them and then do the Malwarebytes deletes if I think they are valid.

The thing is that my friend's PC has several search tabs that come up when he starts Chrome and when I research them, the answer is to do certain program deletes through the Control panel and run some special removal programs and then run malwarebytes to do the cleanup.

I don't mind cleaning up my PCs because then it is my problem to fix them. I do not want to mess up someone else's PC because then I have to pay to fix them.

Usually when I get that far down, I tell them to either live with it or take it to someone to fix.

This is my fourth trip to work on this PC and I would like to fix something.

Crossing my fingers.
