registry cleaner

I think my computer needs a registry cleaning program. It's acting like it's going to crash. It's freezing upon restart and I'm getting lines throught the screen when I move my mouse across the screen. I've also gotten something called a DLL error and it's moving really slow. I'm new at this so I'm not sure what I need to do. I've done a little searching online but could use some advice. Does anyone know where I could download a registry cleaning program for free? Any advice?

1) Do you use anti-virus software? Is it current and have you run a system scan lately?
2) Do you use anti-spyware software? Same questions as above.
if the answer is no to the above two questions, then before anything else I would get those, get them current, and run some system scans
Yes I do use an Anti-virus & Anti-spyware. I have used both of them regularly and update them everyday. I found a few Spyware items today and removed them but am still having problems.

I'm trying to find something that can be fixed without using a registry cleaner. From the things I have read, using a registry cleaner is not a great thing to do because they can cause more problems than just fixing a current problem.

Download 'Registry Mechanic' from 'Astalavista.us'.
Edit: Also download these free software packages:
'CWshredder'
'Adaware'
'Sygate Personal Firewall'
AV personal edition
Spyware Blaster
Hijack This
anything JAVA ? fuck it off until you really need it. It slows down your system greatly.
do a defrag.
hope this helps.
It's just over a year old. Processor 3200+
102 GB free space left. I just defraged it a couple of days ago.
I'm just not sure what to do. I don't want to run out and buy stuff if I don't know what's wrong or if it will even help. I really don't want to do something that will make it worse. Thanks for any and all help. I'm really lost here.
I've already tried some of the free Registry cleaners. I tried Registry Mechanic. I'm not sure if it was that one or another one I used but they will only fix anywhere from 5-15 errors. It didn't help the problems I'm having. I have Spyware Blaster, Ad Aware and AVG. I will try the rest and see if it helps. I'm pretty sure I saw Hijack this on my computer but I've never used it and I'm not sure how it got there. *scratches head*
Thanks for the tips.
This is because you were running the trial version. Just download the crack/serial number from astalavista.us
spybot search and destory
ad aware se
and run them both in safe mode - restart and when the computer boots up press f8.
also run an antivirus check in safe mode.
after you have done this, use windows to defrag your partitions.
If you can pay, get registry mechanic and do the same.

I was just repeating what I've heard. Of course I wouldn't do this myself.
Edit: Oh, and thanks for the nudge to the mods. Appreciated! :rolleyes:
Wasn't sure
