After spending several hours cleaning "SpywareIsolator" from a neighbours PC,
I got to thinking of registry cleaners.
I have never used these,but would like opinions/ advice from those who have and if they are effective.
A Google search brings up a few that look interesting, but you can never tell if these are being promoted by those who seem keen on putting malware on your PC.
Personal experiences are a much better guide.

Cheers
HH

CCleaner is one of the better de-clutter programs for removing temp files, cookies and some registry entries.

None of them, ever, clean out the registry properly.
