"Not responding " problems

[steeljack]

Can anyone reccomend a good (Free) downloadable registry cleaning program , my PC has started "hanging up/freezing" and I keep getting the (not responding) message in the top title bar.
Done a search and tried a few scans ,each one shows up 4 or 5 hundred system errors/registry errors/ usererrors , then when you click on the clean-up tab the site asks for money

done a de-frag and scan disk , diskchk

am running the new version of AVG

any help appreciated , thanks

Try Advanced Sytems as well as Ccleaner - works well for me and if you run it once or twice a week it only takes a few minutes - detects & thrn cleans/repairs.

If you install Linux (or Android ) you wont have any of those registry problems,

Oh how I miss Ian's input on here, never fails to make me smile

All these so called free programms are mostly a gimmick, free for a trial period, reports umpteen problems, many of which don't exist, then removes a few to show you how benevolent they are.
Even the old Shareware & Freeware programs no longer free.

There are only 3 things still free Advice, Critisism, and Fresh Air even thats becoming hard to find.

Spybot search and destroy can be quite effective.
