PC Pitstop Optimize 3.0 vs PC Matic

[Randy1887]

Ok I need help choosing some programs. Last year I purchased PC Pitstop Optimize 3.0 and it's time to re-new it, I am looking at PC Pitstop: PC Matic which has Optimize 3.0 PLUS Antivirus/Antispyware/Antimalware, Driver locater and downloader, hard disk defragmenter, ect...however I was thinkin of running these programs along side of Avast, Malwarebytes', Superantispyware and Windows disk defragmenter.

So bottom line, Should I....
(A) Buy PC Matic and run it along side my other programs?
(B) Buy Optimize 3.0 ONLY?
(C) Buy a better Optimize? (Please list software)

Just an opinion but i wouldn't run either of them...waste of good money.

The others you listed are fine though...

So is it really not important to have Optimize? They say it's suppose to keep you from having Registry Issues

[patio]

Basically there is no such thing as Registry issues...
It's a text file...a roadmap with pointers on it...if the map leads to a dead end the machine moves on...

But alot of Co's make boatloads of cabbage telling people they need an optimiser for it...

I suppose registry cleaners remove those "dead ends"?

But I wonder, when people have BSOD's (or whatever they call it now I don't know) and go thru a registry clean and suddenly their PC is back to life ...

From my experience blue screen of death comes in 2 forms.

1. Driver issue ( most common)
2. hardware issue

I have yet to see registry give me the BSOD, it might be possible I guess though as mention I thought if it is pointing to null or nothing it would just move on? maybe it is software that is effecting a driver somehow?

To many pointer issues can lead to slower computers, but then again computers are fast enough today that you should not notice anything unless years of junk accumulated. I rarely use registry cleaner, just clean out your temp folders, defrag, and scan your HD for errors and corrupt entries and it should work out fine.
