Vista System Cleaners

toxic · 8 Aug 2007 at 11:50

Im looking for a combination of Reg cleaners/system cleaners fro Vista. Before on XP I used a combination of Registry Mechanic, CCleaner/Easy Cleaner and Webroot Window Washer. Does anyone use window washer with Vista? or Reg Mechanic?
I used the Reg Cleaner on EasyCleaner at the weekend.....and it ran constatly for about half an hour...and picked up hundreds!!!! of files to wipe. Wasnt to sure TBH!

For cleaning i use ccleaner, spybot, adaware and a few internet guides.

Not 100% sure about many others.

CCleaner is all you really need for registry cleaning and removing unwanted data from temp folders etc.

I use it for this on a Vista 64bit install..upon which it works very well.

just be careful with CCleaner in vista 64bit.
in winXP CCleaner never deleted anything i didnt want it too, but in vista 64bit it has deleted the odd thing i didnt tell it too(like some of my desktop icons

Never had any problems personally in Vista 64bit....and if you make a backup (as you should do), you can always replace what has been deleted.
