Didn't give any details. Nothing. What are you expecting. Secondly - an Internet searcher might do a quick search like this: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Ad...indows+XP% 22 And come up with the possibility you are speaking of this: http://www.iobit.com/advancedwindowscareper.html The point being - people should not have to search to figure out what you are asking for... ;-) It could be they are right (or just good/lucky at searching) or that they are completely off-base if they decide to try and answer you at all. Now - assuming the link to the above product is correct... My suggestion is don't get it. If you have a brain, know how to use a computer in the slightest, everything you need to keep that computer running smoothly for years to come is easily gotten and generally free. Applications designed around a single idea usually work best for that single idea and usually work better than applications designed as a one-size-fits-all app. Works that way in just about everything. Decent antivirus (Avira AntiVir or eSest NOD32), decent antimalware (Malwarebytes), good backups (dozens of ways people can do this - an easy one is the Seagate Replica drive if they are not interested in too much manual labor but complete system backup and versioning), common maintenance tasks (defragmentation, CHKDSK, uninstalling unused applications, keeping copies of your installation media/files/serial numbers/product keys away from the computer and updated, operating system and application updates, etc) and a little common computing sense (don't do stupid things, don't use the computer as an administrative level user all the time, down't open attachments willy-nilly, don't try out every piece of software you can on your production machine, etc.) -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |

The newer version does not do a good job. In general, registry defragmenter software will cause more problems than they fix. No. not worth it. |
