Any suggestions for a safe, good,(free) program that will scan my process registry and identify all the crap in there? I used to have a link to one, but can't find it to save my life.

Mucous grassyass!

Are you trying to clean the system registry or unwanted running processes?

Ah, I think ccleaner only cleans viruses and such stuck in your registry.

I had links to 2 sites. One, you typed in the process name, and it told you what it was, threat level, etc. Another scanned itself and gave you a readout of what everything was with suggestions on whether to kill them or not. Of course I can't find either one. I could probably google something, but I'm a little leery running random google **** on my laptop. That's why I was hoping somebody had something that they've used and works.
