Hi,

I already have AVG Internet Security 2011, CCleaner and Malwarebytes Anti-malware on my PC. I was wondering if I should use UniBlue SpeedUpMyPC for better performance of PC/Internet?

Thanks.

Also, do you guys use download and video accelerators? I have Speedbit Download Accelerator Plus and Speedbit Video Accelerator. Are there better ones out there? Are these good?

I would not waste your money on it.
It includes several tools winodws already has.
It has a "reg. cleaning" tool, but cleaning the registry does nothing for speed.

Whether you'll notice a significant difference in the performance of your own PC is questionable, though

No, even if the registry was massively bloated there would be little impact on the performance of anything other than exhaustive searches (ed. of the registry itself).

On Win2K Terminal Server systems, however, there is a limit on the total amount of Registry data that can be loaded and so large profile hives can limit the number of users that can be logged on simultaneously.

I haven't and never will implement a Registry cleaner since it's of little practical use on anything other than Win2K terminal servers and developing one that's both safe and effective requires a huge amount of application-specific knowledge.
