811314 2009-09-17 10:34:00 Hello
I am trying to install a new 2nd hand Acer Vuego 4300U scanner on my wife's computer. I have located a site from which to get the driver but it suggested a registry scan to look for problems.
Needless to say UniBlue registry booster 2009 found 793 errors!!!!!
Before I click Clean Registry I thought I should ask all you experts if this program is safe. Is it safe????:help:

811315 2009-09-17 10:37:00 uniblue is hopeless, get ccleaner or glary utilties and run the reg scanner. GameJunkie (72)
811316 2009-09-17 11:20:00 Only use Ccleaner it's safe to use and offers the option to back up the reg to your documents folder ditch Uniblue gary67 (56)
811317 2009-09-17 12:10:00 Here are the drivers you want, from a reliable source:
www.techspot.com

And "optimization" programs such as UniBlue are a waste of time and money. Grab CCleaner and give it a whirl if you want to clean your registry.

NEVER go to sites like that. What has that got to do with drivers?

If the manufacturers site doesn't have the driver anymore, then DriverGuide is the best place to look.

x2, 3 and 4.

If you are unsure about what sites are reliable, WOT (www.mywot.com) for firefox is quite useful.

Uniblue is a steaming heap of crap, uninstall it. Get CCleaner as Gary and GJ mentioned.
