Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

You can make an exclusion list of registry entries that RegScrubXP will not display as problems.

If you are referring to a general cleaning to the clutter in your computer then you should use the built in cleaners in XP. Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Cleaner. Run it and then Check mark all the boxes, click OK. \

Follow the same path and select Disk Defragment. Defragment your HD.

If you want to clean inside the computer you must use a soft cloth or a paint brush with soft bristles to dust. It's important not to touch the Processor & RAM. There is no Liquid's to clean the inside of the computer.
