PC cleaner? Is there a good PC "cleaner"?

I ran "SpeedyPC" and it claimed to find 1324 problems.
Should I trust it? (I didn't buy it.)
Is there such a "cleaner" that I could trust on my old XP?

yep.

Hello masonc,

I ran "SpeedyPC" and it claimed to find 1324
problems. Should I trust it? (I didn't buy it.)

To buy a product from that same company ? Ofcourse not.

Quite likely its largely Scareware(tm) (like counting each suspect cookie as
a seperate "problem").

Is there such a "cleaner" that I could trust on
my old XP?

Only a single one: Reinstall XP from scratch (and apply the security patches
ofcourse)

After that create a full backup of that drive so you can restore your 'puter
to a known-to-be-clean state when some infestment actually occurs.

For laughs: run that "SpeedyPC" product on a fully patched and updated
install and see how many "problems" it (still) finds.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

Crapware will find "errors and problems" on a PC where the OS was just installed.

No, don't trust it and REMOVE the software ASAP.

No.

Instead download and run the free versions of Malwarebytes
Antimalware, and SuperAntiSpyware to clean your system of trojans,
viruses, spyware, adware, etc. They are both legit companies. Run them
both on a regular basis--at least once a month--to keep your system
malware free.

I use CCleaner to clean my system of old files, trash, etc. that
accumulates on Windows' system. It is similar to XP's Disk Cleaner,
just more thorough. It also includes a few useful tools.

Of course you should trust this software called SpeedyPC. It is the
best known software that can speed up your machine.

OK, thanks. I ran Ccleaner, seems to be legit, removed a lot of
stuff.

Next: It gave me "Maxperforma Optimizer"
Should I run that?

It's malware, be sure NOT to install it.
