See where Registry Patrol is not popular with a lot of users.
Just downloaded the free version which I was led to believe will recognise and fix problems but when I downloaded , I got bells and whistles about not having virus protection [it was there yesterday] and I think I was being steered to buy it. A list of what was wrong but not a hint of a fix.I then uninstalled it and miracle I have virus protection back.
Do they all work like that? didn"t see where I had to switch things off.

After getting a computer virus for the 3rd time, I asked our IT folks at work to recommend anti-virus, anti-spyware software. They recommended Malwarebytes and Avira. Both cost about $25.00.

I purchased both. They downloaded and installed easily. Avira has "realtime" protection which means it runs when you turn on the computer. It works, too. While out on the internet, I have gotten several messages that it "trapped" and destroyed a virus.

We haven"t had any problems since I purchased them.

P.S. The free versions are not as good as the one you buy. Well worth the $25.00. (in my computer illiterate opinion)

What happens is it see's like your virus protector as spyware or even a trojan virus. Just happen to me this last week. Was avised by my network tech of what took place. Had to clean it out to fix it.

You might as well use a freebie like C Cleaner or Glary Utilities to tidy up your registry. Both do the job and are non-invasive.
