Q: Do you know anything about an online product called Registery Booster by Microsoft?  You can download it for 30 dollars to help clean up your computer. Is it also a security software?  Thanks for you help.

A: RegistryBooster is a program by UniBlue and it is designed to clean up and repair your Windows registry. We don't have any experience with that software,  but  it claims to speed up your computer by getting rid of data fragments that can bog down your computer. It's more like spring cleaning for your computer, but it It will not protect it from malware, spyware, viruses, or other attacks. For that you will need dedicated Internet security software.
