PC Software for Cleaning Files; Drivers; etc.

[billmac1]

I'm looking for some software that I can use to clean up my pc hard disk. I have Windows XP Professional SP2 installed. I also have Norton SystemWorks and Norton Internet Security among other software. I just installed a new video card but was unable to get rid all of the previous drivers though the Windows Control Panel. So, the new card is not functioning as it should. I need something that will remove drivers; dll files and other stuff. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations?

As regards my previous post, I have been to the PC World and PC Magazine websites and really didn't find anything that was appealing. Lot's of the shareware stuff is available but most of it is not highly regarded according to the user ratings posted by the mag sites.

You should be able to find an uninstaller at Norton's website. Google uninstall Norton.

Norton=System Resources Hog and OVER RATED!



I use two clean up programs in mine... .

One is free and one you have to pay for... .



The first one I got from FileHippo.com - Download Free Software and its called Crap Cleaner(CCleaner)and it will rid your system of internet files,clean it up and also can help clean up your registry.



The other one I use is called Registry Mechanic and is made by PC Tools(PC Tools - Download Anti Spyware, Antivirus, Firewall, Internet Security, Registry software ) . I use PC PitStop alot for checking my system and they reccommended it along time ago. I have had it ever since and it helps keep the system in order and working.



On a side note... .

The Norton programs are such system resource hogs and seem like they are always at conflict with one program or another was the reason I went to something else. I use Avast Anti-Virus in my desktop and use AVG Free in my laptop. I did that along time ago to see which I liked better and never changed either as both have worked flawlessly. I will never give Norton another dime of my hard earned money for junk like they make..... Andy

After a bunch of fooling around with various registry cleaners I decided to use RegCure, RegCure Registry Cleaner . It found an amazing amount of trash in my Registry file that other software didn't find. I have it scheduled to run automatically.

Norton is like having a cancer in your system.
