Program: Iolo System Mechanic Pro 6 - Home Site (http://\"http://www.iolo.com/\") -

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program: Crap Cleaner - Home Site (http://\"http://www.ccleaner.com/\")
Download: Link (http://\"http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/\")
What to do:
* Click on Cleaner after you have opened the program and make sure everything is checked except for Advanced options in the category "Windows" and all of them should be checked in the category "Applications".
* Click on Analyze, just to see how much crap you have. Then click on Run Cleaner to get that junk off your computer.
* Click on Issues. EVERYTHING should be checked, and now click on Scan for Issues.
* Click on Fix Selected Issues and MAKE SURE YOU SAVE IT THE FIRST TIME. It will come up in a pop-up asking if you would like to back those registry entries up just as a precaution.

Program: Registry Mechanic - Home Site (http://\"http://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/\")
Download: Download From Home Site then Find a Crack
What to do:
* Click on Optimize your System which is a big button right in front.
* Click on Options and make sure that it creates a system restore point before repair. Uncheck that box after you have run and repaired registry entries for the first time if you like.

Program: Spybot - Home Site (http://\"http://www.safer-networking.org/\")
Download: Link (http://\"http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10401314.html?tag=pop\")
What to do:
* Update it and download all the updates.
* Immunize and then immunize again, but this time click on Immunize button next to the Check Again button to make sure it has been fully immunized.
* Run it.
* Bring up TeaTimer.exe by clicking on Mode at the top and selecting Advanced Mode. Then click on Tools > Resident > Check both Resident "SDHelper" and Resident "TeaTimer". If TeaTimer ever comes up, that means someone or you are trying to make a registry change. If you are installing something or changing settings, just click on Allow but if you aren't changing anything, click on Deny. There is a bug with TeaTimer, and you can't see the buttons on it except for a small piece. Just remember, Allow is on the left and Deny is on the right.
* Spybot (TeaTimer) should be running on the bottom right of your computer.
* Note: Spybot has a small problem with the TeaTimer and I don't know why, but they never fixed it. So if you do install Spybot and have TeaTimer running, please check out this guide, so you can fix that small bug. Apparently when a registry entry is changed, TeaTimer will come up if you want it to either Accept or Deny this registry change. If you don't fix this bug, then you won't be able to see those 2 buttons and will not be able to accept any changes. If you're installing something, the install won't work properly. Please, go view the guide. Link to Guide
* Also, go to Tools > System Startup and each one of those files are automatically started once you restart your computer. Read the information on each one and disable the ones you don't need. Uncheck all the ones that are Highlighted in Red. Those are spyware. If there isn't any information about that process, then simply leave it the way it is.
