Uniblue & AVG together

A few month ago, I switched to AVG Internet Security.

Because my HP Pavilion dv1000t laptop started recently to run very slow -- based on research here, I decided to download UniBlue Registry Booster 2. It seemed to help. (Of course it deleted all my cookies including ones I wanted but I wasn't willing to scour the few hundred cookies it found to select out the few I wanted. I just put up with having to sign in on my regular sites again-- like here. )

Though it helped, it did not seem to help enough. In the meantime, I noticed that my AVG software stopped functioning properly. Honestly -- I really don't know if this happened before or after I downloaded and cleaned my registry with UniBlue. The main problem with AVG is that the automatic updater no longer worked and all the scheduled scans were deleted and I could not schedule new ones.

I e-mailed AVG (which has really sucky support in my view) and they merely sent me a canned message to go to a link which allowed me to install AVG, repair it or re-install it. I tried repair and I got an error message about something (I did not understand -- it was partly code) related to the updater.

So I decided to uninstall AVG and reinstall it.

But before I reinstalled it, I had chosen to purchase the entire Uniblue Power Suite: the Booster, the SpeedUpMyPC and the Spy Eraser.

So I am in the process of using everything form UniBlue I can to clean up my computer.

My question is: assuming that re-downloading AVG after an install and clean-up by UniBlue works -- I was planning to just have AVG run at start-up and only run the Uniblue products periodically -- like every couple of weeks or so.

Does anyone have any opinion as to whether I should run any of the UniBlue programs in conjunction with AVG? Or instead of?

TIA...

(I searched for discount coupons on-line and I found them for everything at half price and then I used the 25% off coupon I got from Uniblue for purchasing just the Registry Booster 2. That meant I could get the whole kit & caboodle for about $10 more than just the registry booster alone. With getting both extended download and a back-up CD for everything -- It came to $57.)

 

If you don't understand what the registery booster does, I suggest you dont you use it. Although most of these programs are designed to clean up some debris from your registery, you still need to look at the entries being deleted to ensure that the program has not made a mistake. Additionally, the increase in speed from a tweaked registery is minimal.

A good product I have used that is free is CCleaner. It also works well and is FREE.

 

I didn't mean to suggest that I didn't know what a registry cleaner does -- I just meant that I didn't feel like going through the few hundred cookies it found on my laptop to be sure to save the doazen or so I would have wanted to keep.
