On Registry Mechanic & Stop Computer Crashes!
We've received more unsolicited reader testimonials for
Registry Mechanic than we have for any other Cloudeight-recommended
and endorsed program. Each week we receive dozens of reader
comments about the big difference in computer performance
Registry Mechanic has made. These unsolicited comments come
from readers just like you who relate their own experiences
with Registry Mechanic to us. It's easy to see why so many
people have written - Registry Mechanic makes computers
run better and can save you a lot of money helping you avoid
expensive repair bills!
Here
are a just two of the many comments we received this week
about Registry Mechanic.
 A
Comment From Judith
I kept reading positive comments about
Registry Mechanic in your InfoAve Premium Newsletter
so I finally bought it for my year old laptop. That was
about six weeks ago, I've had no problems with it and last
week I bought another subscription of it for my 3 year old
PC. It found/repaired 908 problems. Registry Mechanic is
one tool I would recommend for sure. I use IE 7. Judith
- happy computer user.
A Comment From Jim R.
"...before I knew about
Registry Mechanic, I downloaded a different registry
cleaner. In the scan it found almost 1000 errors. When I
got Registry Mechanic, it found 600 errors. I have often
wondered about the difference. Then I got your wonderful
3rd e-book. You speak often of registry cleaners that cause
problems. I believe that I was saved from a problem by going
with
Registry Mechanic. You two are the greatest! Take Care,
Jim R..."
Registry Mechanic
uses a high-performance detection algorithm to quickly identify
missing and invalid references in your Windows registry.
These problems can occur for many reasons including being
left-behind after the un-installation or incorrect removal
of software, by missing or corrupt hardware drivers, or
orphaned startup programs.

This Week's
Rant
Noodles, Banjos and More!
Last weekend when I was dragged kicking and
screaming to a local mall, I decided to pay attention and actually look
at the stores that are in the mall. Don't ask me why. I'm usually walking
around outside the mall as if there were an outbreak of airborne botulism
descending upon the mall shoppers inside. This time however, for whatever
reason (and with my sort of mind sometimes there is none), I decided to
study how businesses lure people into parting with their hard-earned money.
In today's cool-speak world, where cool people say "ciao" instead of "goodbye"
or "fridge" instead of "refrigerator", it seems that business people have,
once again, turned people's desire to be "cool" into dollars.
Do you really think there's some suave dude named T.J. Maxx for instance?

This Week's
Top Questions and Answers
Karen decides to add a second
internal hard drive
Hi. I've been reading your newsletters for years and I've learned so much!
I've just joined The Hill - and I'm having so much fun - and learning a
lot too! After reading up on it, I've decided to take the plunge and install
a second hard-drive. I'm not very computer savvy, but I have installed RAM
in my computer and it wasn't so hard. But I have a feeling that installing
a second hard drive in my computer wont be as easy. Any tips you can give
me since I've never done anything like this before? (I'm using Windows XP.)

This Week's
Top Tips and Tricks
Third-party Firewalls Run Amok
Windows XP and Windows Vista
More lately than ever before are we receiving
emails from frustrated folks who want to protect their computers but are
so confused by all the conflicting advice they receive, they install more
security programs on their computers than they need and end up with a computer
that's out-of-control and nearly impossible to use. So, what's the point?
If every time you try to download something, install something, or use something
on your computer, you're asked "Do you want to run this?" or "Do you want
to install this?" or "Do you want to allow this program to access the Internet",
the average person is going to become so confused that eventually they'll
click "Yes" because otherwise they can't do anything with their PCs. And,
that's a shame. And it's not their fault.

Just Because a Site Runs an Ad Does Not
Mean The Site Recommends the Product
Windows All Versions
This week a flash advertisement on USA Today
was hacked and spread all kinds of badware to all kinds of users, who, trusting
USA Today assumed that the ad was something endorsed by USA Today. It was
not.
The point of this tip is not to scare you out
of you wits or teach you never to click on an advertisement, but to again
remind you to use common sense, keep your Windows updates current, use a
good anti-virus program, two good anti-spyware programs and keep them updated!
Had visitors to USA Today used common sense
and done the other things we list, they would not have been bombarded with
multiple installations of badware. But, they were, and of course now the
fear mongers are running amok with this story - blaming it on the vulnerabilities
of Flash ads, Windows, and everything else they can think of.
Visit this page to learn more how
"experts" use disinformation to scare you and sell
products or increase their own site traffic.
