    Default Free Registry Cleaner from MicroSoft

    Windows Defender: Software

    I accessed the page from the Windows Defender site/More Tools

    It's called Windows Live OneCare Saftey Scanner.

    It's free.

    It takes about two hours to complete.

    It found and repaired 640+ registry errors. The most I've ever seen a registry cleaner find.

    And it checks to see if the disk need defragmentation, removes viruses and junk files.

    2 hours? that is a hell of a long time to clean up the registry. but if it is doing the other functions as well I guess 2 hours isn't that bad but your hard drive better be really fragmented for that amount of time.

    I use mvregclean and I have seen it clear up 2000+ on one machine and and average I have seen with this program is about 800 dead registry links. and it only takes a few minutes. MV RegClean Software Informer: Latest version download, news and info about this Marcos Velasco Security program. MV RegClean 5.5 is a registry cleaner for Windows.
    oh yea it is also free. but good find!

    oh btw iirc this one will only be free for a certain number of downloads. After that certain number of downloads the program will no longer be free. So if you want to get this get it now before they start charging for it.

    It's done on-line. I think that's one reason why it takes so long. The other is that it does remove junk files, etc.

    There is no software on your PC when it's finished. You can't run it without going to the site to do it.

    I'm going to do it right before I go to bed at least twice a month.
