Windows Registry Cleaners -Are they Safe

[SpywareDr]

Well no, it isn't a requirement. But as I alluded to above, it is an easy way to snappier performance ... and even on some older, under powered systems.

Thinking you all are getting a tad off topic here.

That sums it all up, posted years ago by one who knows.

Unfortunately we have some here who think they know better - They don't.

I love regseeker!! (Its excellent )

The last version that works on Win98se is 2.0Beta (1st beta released) and I cant find it anywhere. Can someone possibly help me?? (I just wanted to run a scan with it once as I remember years ago the first time I did it found a little more than the version I love (1.45))

[SpywareDr]

Would version 1.55 work for you? https://www.afterdawn.com/software/g...oftware_id=925

[01jameker]

I have been using Ccleaner and Wise Disk Cleaner. But clearly everyone needs to be cautious when using some registry cleaners quite a few of them aren't safe at all. Damn.

[The Dude]

Yes SpywareDr 1.55 works but it doesnt find anymore than 1.45 does... (And 1.55 doesnt run as good as 1.45 does (Its slower,etc) on 98se (@ least on mine))

Thanx for trying to help

[SpywareDr]

Here you go: http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...90#post1288790

[The Dude]

Yes thats 1.45,thats the one I have (I put it there for that guy (Before that site went to VB4 and became crap))

Im looking for version 2.0Beta (First beta release)

[SpywareDr]

Oops, my mistake.

[renegade600]

you checked the download section of this forum. it is so out of date that it still may have it. too lazy to look myself :-)

still wonder why the section has never been deleted - every time I asked about it the last few years it is when I have time.

[The Dude]

Thanx buddy I just checked there and no regseeker @ all....... (Unless I looked under the wrong branch)

Thanx for trying... Its so aggravating!! (I mean I love 1.45 I think its the BEST version but the scanning on 2.0 finds a bit more and I wouldnt mind running it one time since I havent in along time)

Hmmm.........
That's not a bad price.
But, I need the storage capacity of a 1TB drive.


True, the price of SSD's have come down quite a bit.
Especially the SSD's that are smaller than 512GB.
I'm seeing retailer's blowing out these smaller drives, so they can start selling the larger capacity SSD's.


I did a quick search of 1TB SSD's & HDD's Drives.
1TB HDD's are around $50.
1TB SSD's are around $60 - $125.


Another issue with SSD's is that most are only rated for 2 - 3 years of use.
Where most HDD's have a 6 years or longer of use.
