Is it safe to have a registry cleaner and an anti virus program at the same time?

Question

I have Trend Micro Internet Security Pro, and it seems like it has everthing. Should I still have a registry cleaner?

Answer 1

Yes, one takes c**p out of the registry, like ccleaner.

The other stops viruses like avg and avast.

Spybot goes after other creepy software.

And they are all FREE.

Just go to cnet.com or google them.

Answer 5

Trend Micro Internet Security Pro includes following functions:

# Anti-virus

# Anti-spyware

# Email safety scans

# Protection against rootkits

# Proactive intrusion blocking

# Anti-spam

# Two-way firewall

# Home network protection

# Website authentication

# Parental controls

# Data theft prevention

# Protection against ID theft

# Wireless hotspot verification

but without registry related function, so if you have problems/errors on registry, you need a registry software.

yes it's safe to have an anti virus (which you should have anyway) with a registry cleaner, they do different jobs and don't interfere with each other

a good registry cleaner is ccleaner (free) which you can download here http://www.ccleaner.com/download
