other programs do they work vista

Hi - There are a number of programs I find indispensible in XP and all are free (My question is below).
Zone Alarm (the free version)

Crap Cleaner
http://www.ccleaner.com/
SpyBot

Ad Aware

MRU Blaster
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/mrublaster.html
BC Wipe
http://www.jetico.com/
RegClean (Microsoft's Registry Cleaning tool - Yep, I use it in XP and never had a problem).

Prefetch Manager

I couldn't get Zone Alarm to work with Vista.
Question: Has anyone else gotten any of these programs to work with Vista or am I the guinea pig?
Thanks
Joe

that a question for those 3rd party tools... including the regclean as it is no longer supported by MS.
i'm sure they'll have versions out soon. we are all guinea pigs during beta...
my favorite free firewall "Sygate" has been aquired by symantec :(
I only use that free firewall and Windows XP firewall, no other security or so called Clean Up software and only Clean install on MS partitions. Never had issues with stability or, I never had a virus or malicious software infection....knock on wood. (i have scanned) on numerous systems with this configuration in XP, all solid as a rock.
but I'm not saying this would work for everyone.

eheh...what are you gonna do.
to each his own.
