hello, when i opened download.com to download a file , i found an Ad , which basicly says that there might be some problems with your registry which are slowing down your computer , and they have a program which fixes those bugs and makes your computer faster, anyways the name of the program is Advanced registry optimizer and this is its site http://adserver.softwareonline.com/... anyways is this site trustable?

i wouldn't trust it, it looks kind of sketchy.
if you're looking for a registry cleaner though, "eusing" is a good one. google it
CCleaner is also a great program. not only does it clean/repair registries, it cleans out alot of other junk (TMP files, and other unneeded junk that get's created by programs) it has alot of features, check it out. first time i ran it, i cleaned out like 600MB worth of junk

I never ever download anything from download.com
It is far safer to go the software authors website to download, that way you will never get nasty surprises .

Nice looking site can be deceptive. Run google using the two keywords adserver softwareonline and you will seee it's much more than being fake. Try it and see for yourself.
