I saw an older version of this in another forum ages ago which was recommended but most people had problems with it so i was scared off.

 

have you tried it?

[blacksea]

Yeah, I wanted to compare the program with ASC.

Comodo found 242 errors and ASC 160 errors.

 

And the thing I liked with Comodo was a feature called REGISTRY PROTECTION.

It did gave me the feelings it is a very user friendly tool.

Hi blacksea

It looks like comodo has a bit more aggressive cleaner parameters than ASC.

Don't run the programs in tandem is my advice.

At least be sure that you have a copy of your registry that works before trying.

Hi solbjerg,

 

Well, your actually right. I was lucky to have that REGISTRY PROTECTION enabled and I did restart my computer to see if there was some difference.

I noticed that msn was taking longer to load and Comodo Dragon was freezing a bit. So I was lucky that I could revert it back with the Protection option. I do think this could be a major improvement for ASC if they would include it also. Not for about 30 errors but for registry errors over 200+. Or would it be hijacking ?

Hi friend!!!!

[evilfantasy]

I've tested this a few different times. If you are not very confident about working with the registry then STAY AWAY from it!

hi

you are saying you backed up your registry this correct.

and did you restore it.

if so did the speed pick back up?

and did you run comodo again?

thanks

Hi itsmejjj,

 

Yes luckly, after the reboot, it asked me if the system worked properly. I had 2 options

 

1) I could revert the errors it fixed, back.

2) Finish it and save it.

 

And I did the first one and everything worked well again.

[evilfantasy]

If the wrong key is "fixed", which can easily happen, those options to revert are useless.

[blacksea]

It wasn't fix, it was my choice of word. It made a back up before 'fixing', so I can revert it also back.

[evilfantasy]

I understand and that's my point. If you let it fix, repair, or whatever, the wrong key then all of the backup and restore options in the world will be no good when Windows doesn't boot.

 

This is a good article by a respected Windows expert called Edd Bott. A good read for anyone. Why I don’t use registry cleaners

 

Another good read from the Spybot forums. Registry Cleaners, not recommended

 

Registry cleaners do have their place. But they should be used very cautiously and only by someone who knows the registry very well.

Hi friends!!! http://forums.iobit.com/showpost.php?p=40900&postcount=13 Get a good image backup program like Macrium Reflect, and you won't have to worry!!!

Many people don't realize that all System Restore is is a snapshot of the Registry.

 

If you can't boot to Windows, System Restore is useless.

I do like the free CCleaner. I’ve cleaned out 1 GB or more of junk on friends computers and it does make the system a little more responsive. You don’t get as many unexplained pauses. This is a problem with the lack of multithreading in Windows Explorer most of the time when it times out on dead resources like a detached network drive. I thought I remember reading something on the Vista features that fixes this by supporting multiple threads.

 

Other than that, I’ve made sure that I don’t have any dead links the system is trying to access on the desktop that are sure to cause a 30 second lockup even if I drag an icon across the dead link icon. Ccleaner also does a nice job removing a lot of that junk. The combination of MSCONFIG and Ccleaner works wonders.

 

i read the link and

cut this he agrees it ok ta use..

[sunny staines]

well i did report concerns of comodo. Once found a utility from ashampoo which made a good improvement to boot up times but alas messed up else where.

 

ASC is the only good all rounder in my book.

[itsmejjj]

i do not know..nut i just done a full back up image and look at the time

 

it fixed something.and i admit i do not have the faintest idea what

but i am happy

i usually do not worry about this...is it worth the try

sure if one is fully backed up ,why not..

itsmejjj

by the way thanks for the link!!!
