Spybot is another good one to use.
Adaware finds some things, Spybot finds others... |

Spybot & AdAware will both clean registry entries for malware that they find on your system. They each seem to have their strengths, and I find it is best to run both.
For cleaning registry entries for non-spyware/adware programs, you'll need to look elsewhere. I don't have recent experience with other registry cleaners.

Hi Rooster,
I have been using Jouni Vuorio's RegCleaner 4.3 for some time now. It does a real good job of keeping my registry cleaned up. I don't know if the 4.3 is still out there as Freeware. I have the original download still if you want to try it. (540KB exe)

| Things like AdAware and Spy Bot (which I use and like) don't clean the registry so much as remove software which "phones home" with your personal data and activities. |

Hey Thanks everyone! I just did the clean up with spybot. I heard on WBAI that it was really good as well. I did have to restart my computer twice & it asked me to do it again but I will do that later.
Thanks again folks. You guys RAWK!
