The use of registry cleaners is no longer recommended due to the potential damage they may cause.

Most reg cleaners aren't "bad" as such, but they aren't perfect and even the best have been known to cause problems.
The point we are trying to make is that the risk of using one far outweighs any benefit. If it does work perfectly you will not see any difference If it doesn't work properly you may end up with an expensive doorstop. |
