does anybody know of a trusted and safe free registry clean and repair download to fix runtime errors?

Hello, Is there a way to fix runtime errors at home using one of these google advertised registry repair and clean tools? Or is that just a sure fire way to introduce viruses into the system? I have tryed to download one or two but my antispyware cut in to prevent me downloading them. Would a bought registry mechanic logiciel be better? Or would it be better just to say to hell with the expense and call a computer repair company? Any advice would be really apprieciated.

    I personally like CCleaner and Advanced WindowsCare Personal because they do more than just clean my registry. CCleaner also has the option to save changes to the registry in case you need to revert back.

    CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. CCleaner also fixes your registry. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware.

    Advanced WindowsCare Personal is a comprehensive PC care utility that takes a one-click approach to help protect, repair, and optimize your computer.

    Other free registry cleaners available include Eusing Free Registry Cleaner, Registry Distiller and TweakNow RegCleaner Standard.

    I would not download anything that is not trusted. Have learned that registry cleaners can mess up files on your computer. The best thing to do is go on the Microsoft web site and search for info on the issues you are having. There is alot of information there, just be patient with all the fixes you have to read to get to your specific problem(s). You may be able to get support on the issues you are having. And yes, just to trust a site from a search is not good. They claim to fix problems when really they create more. And it is good that your antivirus has blocked them. It means it is doing its job.

    I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. The best PC cleaner and antivirus program is PC Health Boost, it's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate.

    It's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than nomal. Download it here for free: http://www.pcboostsoftware.com/
