CCleaner is a registry cleaner you should use monthly to keep your computer running efficiently. It scans for junk files, unnecessary registry entries, and unused cookies. (Free, or $25 for professional edition)
Revo Uninstaller Pro scans more deeply for malware and spyware than the standard Windows uninstaller. As it removes files, slowly but thoroughly, it’ll also “uncover any renegade file crumbs left behind.” ($29)
