Suggestions for Proper Maintenance

might what to check this thread to share any thought :)

Any thoughts on Registry cleaners?

I would use only one. MSE is very good. If you use common sense, along with MB and MSE, you will be fine.

I've used MSE along side the paid version of SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes as a backup scanner on demand.
I worked on a buddies PC that had MSE and MB and it kept finding an issue but did nothing about it.
I put SAS on it and not only did it recognize the issue, it stopped it from starting and I was able to finish cleaning it off instead of wipe/reload.

I've used CCleaner's registry cleaner for years on XP and since I had 7 (October of 09) and never had an issue with it.
That being said...caution is the word of the day.

Nice post!

I tend to clean my PC case and bits every 6 months or so with a can of compressed air and a makeup brush (Proper goat hair so no static). And once a year, i tend to pull everything out (just about, i leave the cables in though) including the fans and that, good brush out of any dog/cat hair and dust. I pull the CPU cooler off and replace the thermal paste and i also pull my Graphics card/s apart and replace all thermal material there as well.

I need to have this of good clean out as, like i said before, it gets clogged up with cat and dog hair (the wonders of having pets that moult everywhere. lol)

As for system cleaning, i run Windows 7 Manager x64 1-click cleaner at least a couple of times a month and will also do a fresh install of everything, again, at least once a year depending on any issues gained before hand.

Thanks for the good posts made goo0d reading the only thing i use is hitman pro 3 and windows disk check, not built this computer long so no dust inside but when i do i use a soft haired paint brush and a hand held car vac to suck the dust out.
