Vista - Registry Repair/ Cleaner for Vista?

Hi,

If you are looking for an alternative to McAfee , you might like the free

www.avast.com the home edition

You can turn off the functions you are not using, e.g. vrdbs, p2p, outlook.
It is a complete product with realtime protection - updates every 4 hrs.You get a free registration key - just need to re-register every 12mths.

I have found it so effective that Windows Defender has never had anything to do. I have had no conflicts with Vista.

Vista has a backup function, of course but you might try another free app, which is very configurable

Karen's Replicator

( you should already have VBRuntime on Vista so don't need to download that as well ).

Hope you find these useful

No McAfee is great , it's the only software I 'll pay money for. (and OS ),Norton I had lots of problems with in the past , Free -I won't trust it, to run stable.
-as it causing problems with both defragers ,I think even in safe mode the security centre is still active , as the icon is in the task bar ,could hide something in the registry ? to evade attack's who knows.

-vista home prem .dose not come with the full back utities .
-and for full system back ups I seem to be out of luck as the ones I looked at will not restore a clone to raid to my surprise.even the paid versions ($30.00). I'll keep looking.

Acronis True Image Home 11. Saved my butt more than once. You might want to inquire about 64 bit compatability.

-Thank's , I just picked that up last week for $9.99 (on sale),it seems really good.and it works on 64bit.
-I did a clean install , then started the back ups.
