Ouch! Please don't yell at us. We can hear you if you type normally,
in mixed case.
Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the
registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and
don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
what vendors of registry cleaning software try to convince you of,
having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you.
The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.

Let me point out that neither I nor anyone else who warns against the
use of registry cleaners has ever said that they always cause
problems. If they always caused problems, they would disappear from
the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
cleaner and never had a problem with it.
Rather, the problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
the substantial risk of having a problem. And since there is no
benefit to using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
bargain.

    is there a firefox or best browser (except IE) for Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard? if so, is it free of charge (open source) forever? where can I get it? details. need answers to all questions

    # As to what is the best browser, it is subjective. I think it is the best, others will disagree. There is no special version for Windows Server 2003, the usual version works on it.
    # It is free of charge and will always be free.
    # It is open source.
    # You can get it from http://www.mozilla.com

  • Free virus protection for windows side of Mac

    Can anyone tell me if I need virus protection for the windows side of my Mac? If so is there any reliable ones that are free?

    >If so is there any reliable ones that are free?
    It would probably be a good idea to study various tests in computer magazines in order to find the anti-virus program (free or not) that best meets your requirements.
    Just as one example (not a recommendation), for earlier versions of Windows, Microsoft Security Essentials is available for download free of charge. Windows 8.x editions include a program called Windows Defender.

  • What is the best free backup solution for Hyper-V R2/2012? CSV support is necessary

    Hi,
    I need so guidance, please.
    I’m planning to deploy a free backup solution for my virtual environment and I need your advice. I have the following configuration:
    Failover Cluster:
    Two Dell Servers
    OS: Windows 2012 STD
    Each server has two AMD Opteron 4180 6C @ 2.6 GHZ
    16 GB – RAM (supports 256GB)
    QNAP NAS (CSV)
    It’s hosting a DC, an Exchange 2010 and soon a SharePoint 2013 VM
    Standalone Hyper-V:
    Dell Server
    OS: Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter
    It has two Intel Xeon E5520 @ 2.2 GHZ
    16 GB - RAM
    It’s hosting 3 VMs
    In my research I found these apps. All of them are limited in some way but they do the job:
    Veeam Backup Free Edition v7
    Altaro Hyper-V Backup
    Unitrends Enterprise Backup
    PHD Virtual Backup for Hyper-V
    HV Backup from CodePlex
    Windows Server Backup (WSB)
    What is your experience with them? What would you recommend?
    When it comes to money, which one is more affordable? (In case I want to buy the full version)
    Thanks in advanced.

  • Why the free version Skype for Windows Desktop is the only one with ads?

    Why? as the title ask? All the other Skype program on other platforn e.g. Android, iOS, Mac doesn't contain any ads, like the phone / tablet version does not seems to have one. The Mac version I don't really know, but people who uses skype on mac tells me there's no ad in their skype. Well maybe if there are, it might be not as annoying as the windows desktop version and they might have not noticed. I don't really care if you put ads in the program it's free anyway, but don't put and use ads that make the program looks cheap and annoys it user to use program. Anyway, I believe skype is seriously needed to be the main messaging/videocall app for windows (like mac's iMessage). Especially with the release of Windows 10 and if you're going to be that, putting such intrusive ads in the program is just not going to cut it, if you gonna put ads, do it right (at least). Seriously your ad placement is just like saying F**K you i'm going to put ads whereever i want. Skype is part of Microsoft now; It's very funny to see that Skype's on Windows (the OS Microsoft make) Desktop platform, is the skype platform I personally least like to use (I have use skype in android phone and tablet too, and on Mac). Like seriously, If you work with Microsoft, shouldn't you make a skype version that's bundled to Windows as Messaging service, like Windows Messenger back in windows XP days?
