Is this spam or is it for real. It scanned my system and found like 211 errors or something. I have Mcfee and this is not a Mcfee thing. Should I purchase it or what? I know my virus scan thing is still updated, but my computer does freeze up and is slow sometimes. So maybe I should buy it? Have you ever heard of that product------ "Registry Cleaner?"
Thanks.

Thats a Spyware!!!!!
Go to www.microsoft.com and download windows defender for free.
It checks the registry.
Here is the link

I have not heard of the product Registry Cleaner. But Mcfee can not detect registry errors it only scans for virus, spyware, and other harmful things. My best suggestion is if you are not sure of it don't get.

In my opinion you should not entertain softwares that pop up. I normally cancel all poped up softwares.
If your computer is slow you can try going to internet options by clicking on tools on ie, then u can delete your history and cookies.
You should also try going to windows folder and delete the contents of prefetch folder.
You should also defragment your harddisk once a while by clicking on start

Don't trust it
if you have a concern about your system go to
http://www.misec.net/trojanhunter/
and download a free trial of TrojanHunter
It picks up and removes what most scanners don't
