    As suggested CCleaner is very good. Spybot Search & Destory also helps get rid of unwanted files ....other than the Spyware, Tracks, etc that it looks for. Ad-Aware se Personal is yet another database to utilize. After all, who wants to rely on ONLY ONE database for cleaning garbage out that is picked up from the various activities of being on the net???

    TweakNow RegCleaner is a simple yet very safe and effective way to get rid of obsolete files from your registry.

    AusLogics Disk Defrag does a MUCH better job than the built-in Windows defragger, too.

    If you "google" the names of all of those you can download them all from their home sites for free. This cuts out "middle-men" that may serve as an avenue for downloading mal-wares of various types. These "middle-men sites" are mostly good but I've been stung a time or two by using them. So I go directly to the horses' mouth! LOL!

    I hope this helps you out. Good Luck!

    Ccleaner is the best free registry cleaner. It will also clean, Where you have been, What you were looking at. It will even clean the list of videos you watched in Windows Media Player and other programs that keep a list of things you enterd in the save or search command.
