computer question
I often get these "registry cleaner" popups that say that I am infected by something or other and I need to do this. It is free until its diagnosed, then it costs money. This is a scam right? Sorry, i'm a huge computard.

thanks

My brother swears by his Mac... I've given it a fair shake but it's just not my thing.

Are you saying you have the same problem on a non-Windows machine and are looking for suggestions or just telling us an anecdote for the fun of it?

dude, don't play around with registery cleaners. They have hosed too many non-techies. Just stay away from them. The benefits don't outweigh the disasterous effects if done wrong like unable to boot etc.

Malwarebytes is great, I also have AVG loaded on my puter.

The AVG software is free, you can pay $40 a year and add live scanning as you go. Since I spent the $40 I haven't had any problems.

I run daily scans of both and update the software on a regular basis.
