my name is Craig chamberlain and you're
watching the faster 8-series only on the
PCM tech help show
yeah
yeah
now that we've removed viruses and
malware from your machine there is a
good chance that damage has been done as
a result
don't worry it's pretty easy to repair
the registry and other problems that may
have been caused with the free piece of
software known as glary utilities it's
another great utility I've used over the
years and we're going to be using it in
the next couple of videos now to get
glary utilities you just need to go to
PCM tech help.com /a downloads or of
course you can google it if you'd like
but i do have tons of free downloads
here that I've used over my years as an
IT guy and if you scroll down to the
section called system tuning you can
find glary utilities sitting right there
under the cleaning and tuning section of
system tuning once you've downloaded
we're going to go ahead and launch the
Installer now I actually i'm just going
to double-click on the GU setup file
that you get from glary utilities and
that will launch your installer course
user account control asks you if you're
sure I'm going to select yes this is
welcome to glary utilities setup wizard
let's go ahead and click Next and of
course i have to tell you to agree to
the licensing agreement this is free for
personal use
go ahead and select next when you're
ready and then select next for your
location of your file to be installed
and then we'll go ahead and add the
glary utilities folder to our startup
menu and I'll take a desktop icon but
I'm not big on quick launch and i will
go ahead and disable the desktop icon
for glary soft giveaway
now they do often a package and other
things with the software because they're
free and that's kind of another way they
make money but if you're careful with
your installation you don't have to
worry about any kind of extra stuff
being installed once it's complete i'm
just going to select launch glary
utilities and we're going to take a look
at it real real quick
now as you can see it's very
straightforward how this works it's got
a nice little feature called the
one-click maintenance which actually
doubles as a or what is it rock couples
or what not even the 145 but it does a
lot
it does a hundred registry cleaning
fixing shortcuts does startup manager so
it checks for dangerous startup item
entries it does the temporary files
cleaner so it cleans up temporary files
not quite as good as some software but
we're going to talk about that a little
later and it does spy
removal as well in the but for the most
part it probably won't need to do that
for you in this particular video because
we just ran an antivirus anti-spyware on
this faster a series
all you have to do and this one is just
click scan for issues it's going to look
over your registry for any
inconsistencies and there's a lot of
inconsistencies on systems that have
been running for quite some time and
we're gonna run in and actually repair
those glary utilities kind of unique in
the way that it does all this in a
single click and then after it's
actually located and repair them you are
going to have to run this utility a few
times to make sure that all the repairs
are done some repairs cause other issues
to come up and then you have to keep
preparing it now before you click repair
problems we have 81 problems and we have
14 . fifty nine megabytes fought found
thankfully we did back up our registry
at the beginning of this video series so
you don't have to really worry about
creating any kind of a backup at this
point because in the worst-case scenario
for registry repair which rarely happens
very rarely happens it can cause system
instability but for the most part they
actually make sure that there's no
nothing that can actually occur as a
result of that I think maybe one time
I've heard of that actually happening in
my situation now once i click repair
items on the click scan for issues again
it's going to run through my skin a
second time and it may or may not find
additional items if it finds additional
items i'm going to run the repair again
and you just do this probably two or
three times they'll be all you have to
do and it looks like it did not find any
now the nice thing about glary utilities
it does have a module section that has a
bunch of other utilities you can run as
well
this video just covers the registry
repair the one-click maintenance but we
will be using a couple of these
utilities in the future videos of this
series
