I got a suggestion to ask around here what free ones I should use.(spyware)

Got a bug problem in my CCleaner, but don't know the source. Could be any of the ones stated there. (like using the different kinds of defrag programs and registry cleaners after another)

link to all the free spyware software is somewhere in the bug-thread above. (direct link below, it's a Dutch site, but the names of the spyware removers are in blue there, and they link to english sites.)

I use them all, but don't run any on the background anymore (run more than one+avast!, and pc slow down remarkably) . They all find different stuff on my pc they don't like. All got different kind of field spec.

(gratis is Dutch for free )
not sure the bug is related to my anti-spyware uses though. don't have any problems but a slow pc and a bug in CCleaner. but slowness could be because it hardcrashed like 75 times already and it killed quite a part of my pc when they did. and got Avast! in highest guard-mode. Maybe that could also be the clue..

Have a read of this

Out of the programs you listed, I will give my opinion


-Fileguard - not needed
-HjackThis - not needed
-Glary Utilities - not needed
-Startup manager - not needed
-wise disk cleaner - not needed
-wise registry cleaner - not needed
-revo unistaller - not needed
-avast (free) antivirus
-auslogics disk defrag and normal windows defrag
-using a password and having a adm account (which I'm running it on) and a gast-acc
-screen saver control (a program screensaver utillity) - not needed


Registry cleaners cause a lot of problems generally so wouldn't surprise me if they are responsible.


As for the programs in this link

Spybot, Ad-Aware, Windows Defender, a-squared, Hitman Pro, CWShredder, are all junk and not needed
