FRee Registry Cleaner That Isn't A Scam

Nope ..... anything free is worth zactly what you pay for it.

try this one

works for me.

CC cleaner is highly recommended by many.

Yep. CCleaner is what Timberlake always recommended to people. I've used it for many years without any problems.

I use CCleaner too.

I gotta jump on that crap cleaner band wagon as well.


saved me many a dirty secrets.. heheheh

Ahem.

I'm sure that timberlandko would have recommend it as well.

timberlake might too

Somewhere in Wisconsin there is the sound of a good man spinning in his grave.

It was Timber that turned me on to 'crap cleaner', which I still use. The program does a good job on crap but falls short on registry issues such as .... add an auto restore point prior to scanning, compacting and defragmenting of the registry .... something registry mechanic with ease.

Had the question been 'cleaning up' your tracks on the internet the answer would have been to use 'clear private data' (under 'tools' in firefox.). Be sure to uncheck the cookies box if you use cookies.





BTW... update #2.09 is available for CC.

Gelisgesti- I have been using Registry Mechanic for a number of years, and I love it.

Hey Phoenix
It has been around forever. I remember installing the suite ..... it took a while on a 286 using nine 3 1/2 floppies.

have to try it

CCleaner is often recommended by "experts." However, it has several very powerful functions and should be used with care in making registry changes, since you can accidentally make your computer inoperable. The minor improvements to speed in cleaning the registry do not seem to outweigh the potential harm of using it.

I have never, in all the many years I've spent on computers, felt the need for a registry cleaner. Not once. I've tried them many times too, they removed some stray entries and all that weren't doing anything anyway for the most part. In that sense I think it closely resembles a scam, to sell a product whose need is generated in its own marketing.

If you have a need for registry cleaning, I think you might as well do a clean sweep with a fresh install because you may have other problems that registry cleaning won't do.

Note: I have, however, often found registry changes useful (for which I just use native windows registry editing), to make tweaks, but never a general-purpose registry cleanup tool.

So I second jgweed, the potential benefits are outweighed by the disadvantages.
