Registry cleaner and spyware?
I've got to make some decisions and install appropriate spyware
and perhaps a registry cleaner on my new computer. I used McAfee
on the old computer but I am not sure this is the best choice.
I've never used a registry cleaner, but my new computer's
motherboard setup installed UniblueTrial Version on this
computer. I've used it to scan for errors, but the trial version
won't do make any registry changes. I'm hoping someone can give
me some good advise on these questions.
