| 1236642 | 2011-10-10 18:57:00 | Dont use registry cleaners. Some can kill a system. And delete valid entries | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1236643 | 2011-10-11 09:40:00 | I have been using 'Crap Cleaner' for years and never known it go wrong. It encourages you to back up the registry first, but I have never had to use a backup. | mzee (3324) | ||

| 1236646 | 2011-10-11 21:42:00 | One thing that I have never had to try -- even though you can make a backup of the reg with Ccleaner first -- what happens if on reboot the computer wont boot because of the entries being removed -- How do you run the backup if you cant get into the system ? Better off making a restore point within windows, at least you can boot from the recovery CD and run system restore.:2cents: |

| 1236647 | 2011-10-11 22:04:00 | For paranoia's sake I uncheck all the reg settings in CC. Years ago I had a reg cleaner wipeout a whole bunch of printer entries all because the printer was turned off at the time. Luckily I restored it with the backup. |

| 1236648 | 2011-10-12 05:32:00 | -1 for Auslogics because it caused my OS to become unbootable the first it was used. +1 for Ccleaner because it has never failed me in years of use. |

| 1236649 | 2011-10-12 05:40:00 | I see RegCure is not detected by several anti-virus apps. I wouldn't recommend using any registry cleaner, not even CCleaner. | Greven (91) | ||
| 1236650 | 2011-10-12 22:21:00 | used cc reg clean option for years never had it cause a single problem never heard of it causing one either - have you? |
