Administrator Tarun Posted November 2, 2005 Administrator Posted November 2, 2005 Oh, why no more Spyware Doctor, 1984? ;) Quote
1984 Posted November 3, 2005 Author Posted November 3, 2005 Its all paid for. But why the registry cleaners? On the other thread you addressed the ccleaner vs. window washer item, and since I paid for spyware doctor, i will keep it. Now, i will dump the avg. i will try the etrust for a year. if i dont like it, i can always go back, and if it is as good as you say, i can buy the paid version. And about the spyware guard. I see it promoted on a lot of sites. Do you have a reasoning behind dumping it? Its just that there are so many conflicting opinions I like to know the reasons for them. as for the ewido, is that a trial version? should i buy the full version, or is the trial (after the full period expires) still pretty good? thanks! oh, does etrust not do what ewido does? thanks. ;) Quote
1984 Posted November 3, 2005 Author Posted November 3, 2005 and the registry cleaners? do you not use any, or do you just not like these ones? ;) Quote
SenutyEnool Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 G'day Lordoftheweb, I'll think you'll find that most people (and I'd say most of the folks on this forum) use CCleaner as a registry cleaner. If you're not aware, you can find it here CCleaner Cheers ;) Quote
1984 Posted November 3, 2005 Author Posted November 3, 2005 ccleaner has been added. etrust has been added. spyware guard is gone. ewido has been added. ;) Quote
1984 Posted November 3, 2005 Author Posted November 3, 2005 so this is my new list: Window washer ccleaner etrust spybot adaware spyware doctor spyware blaster ie spyad zone alarm firewall 1 click maintenance windows registry repair pro tune up utilities 2004 executive software diskkeeper firefox with firetune ewido i figured since i already have spyware doctor, no need for msas-it would just be overkill with 4 anti spyware products already. also, windows washer is paid for, so why not keep it. it doesnt use much resources. i may add cwshredder. other than that, i am thinking i am good.

SenutyEnool Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Ermm, just a quick question here. Doens't CCleaner have an inbuilt registry cleaner function? Or have I been deceiving myself about its functionality? Cheers ;) Quote
