And ccleaner cleans up the mess they've made when they're done, sort of like those companies that clean up murder scenes.

It'll even run a program checking your registry, show you the errors and fix them for you if you want them to. I use all the others that you do, plus ccleaner. It's the best free program ever (get it at download.com, just remember to uncheck the box that you want yahoo toolbar installed when you go to install it) and will even give you control of what starts up when you boot and has a program uninstaller much better than the one that oomes with windows. I think I've used it for about 6-7 years now--they also update regularly unlike some free progs.

- AVG can run a scan of all files to look for things already on the disk. Also go to trendmicro and do the online scan. HighjackThis! is a great tool... - zork Nov 19, 13:10
