Highlander1:
I have a windows xp computer which is becoming slow and also freezing. The mouse arrow moves but doesn't click the bits it should so I have to reboot or switch on and off.

I have CCleaner installed and AVG. The CCleaner asked if I wanted to update and run new FREE version which I did it told me I had hundreds of faults and would fix only 9 unless I purchased the whole thing.

Is this a scam or should I part with the $29.99 dollars and let it sort things.

AVG scan shows nothing is wrong. I have also defragmented and nothing seems to have improved.

All suggestions welcome.

Thanks.

Terranosaurus:
Uninstal the cleaner you have, I have heard of them deliberately slowing PCs down when the license runs out so as to get you to renew.

Then try down loading "Eusing Free Registry Cleaner" from http://www.download.com

Evilgoat:
A large number of these 'spyware cleaners' are scams that put a lot of stuff on and report non faults.

Use Spybot S&D AND Ad-Aware SE between the two they will fix just about everything.

Highlander1:
Is the spy bot expensive? and adware? There seems to be so many things on the net by same name. :?

eusing how long have you had it does it cost some of the ones Iv'e looked at have like $30 odd dollars not £ for 2 year subscription.

Spybot is free :)

Ad-Aware SE is free but you have to pay for the full version, not something you really need to do.

For what its worth theres always the free Windows Defneder, but its not that good.
