Regarding CCleaner hosing a PC: I use it very often to clean up my computer. It’s hard not to get junk kicked in when surfing the web. Using CCleaner I find that I go years without having to reinstall the operating system and application software. If I just leave it alone the computer gets slower and slower until it’s useless. I have seen a couple of computers that were on their knees get trashed by CCleaner. They would have needed complete reformatting and reinstalls of everything anyway. So, if you think it’s bad software give your head a shake. It does work but don’t leave it til the bitter end before trying it. Use it on a regular basis and you’ll be fine.

Great collection and it is so sweet when they are small and can be installed onto my small USB.

While these can be run from a USB drive some are not truly portable since they write to the registry of any machine on which you run them.

MxOne (USB Anti-Malware), System Explorer NEW BETA Version (Another process explorer but with a couple of unique and very hand features viz., its integration with VirusTotal.com), and FileAssassin would be my picks for your list.

bigboy99 Thanks for your input but I have to agree with Rarst that your comment about “any good tech will tell you that”. I don’t agree with your statements at all and I have been doing this for 20 years and I taught at a computer school and done corporate training as well. I have never seen cCleaner “hose” a machine and I recommend it to all my students whom I have had over 500 of them who provide feedback to me. If you can provide a link or forum where users have described this then it would be helpful. Besides, cCleaner warns you to backup the registry before the changes are made.
As to why would I buy something that I can do myself, I don’t know of any better way to find dead links in the registry other than a utility like this one.
