Here's one of your major puppetmasters of this small group of closed minds
who wish to malign and libel the companies that have sold millions of
product to many, including those who repair computers and make good use of
same.

PCTuneup is actually not a bad program. It's not the best, but it's far from
the worst either. CCleaner is also good, and one of the less aggressive
registry cleaners, but has all the protection mechanisms such as Undo and so
on, that are needed.

If that were true, wouldn't you think there would be a lot of complaints
being lodged and sales would fall to nearly nothing? People aren't nearly
as stupid as this closed mind likes to think and I can personally attest to
the fact that no registry cleaner has EVER caused any of the problems this
closed mind likes to claim. I repair machines and often make use of the
registry cleaner for eliminating 20S pauses, unwieldly huge registries and
erroneous entries. The above para is an out and out lie perpetrated by a
small group of losers on this group.
Ask for any bona fide explanations and all you'll get are references to a
few people who blame anything they can for their problems or biased
self-serving sites such as are recommended below. I don't remove them from
here because a thinking person is going to make the connections themselves
and figure out what's up with these closed minded egotists. Only hundreds
of millions of people disagree with them; you'd think you'd hear about this
from a LOT more people than this tiny group acting like morons as they do.
But, they're the only source of such BS. Check their links and you'll see
what I mean. And blogs, being a dime a dozen these days, are some of the
worst places there are to get information from, especially when they're
no-names such as these folk.

Well, in over a decade it hasn't happened to me yet, or any of the hundreds
of machines I've used cleaners on, including my own when the need arises.
This is quite a group of miscreants, believe me, lol.

Mark, BTW, has rescinded his opinion of not needing registry cleaners. He's
quite cautious about their use, but he does say they are needed tools.
Besides, 2005 is so long ago that even if it were true at that time, there
would be nothing to say it's still true today; a LOT of progress in every
area that exists has been made. Mark R is a highly respected person in the
computer and www areas and often quoted by many thinking people.
If Mark R has anything to say that supports his claim, it would have a
lot more recent date than 2005; this dummy simply used it because it appears
to qualify his misinformation.
Actually, Mark is the one that got me to thinking about these things, long
before 2005, and I've researched the information a lot since those days.
Mark's blog is actually well worth reading for those who would like an
intelligent and verifiable sets of information. Unlike this local group of
dummies, Mark can back up what he says in almost every instance. Oh, and
he's smart enough to not only admit when he's wrong, but smart enough to say
so when there are unanswered questions asked.
I won't spar with you Ken, because I know you'll simply retort with a lot of
your double-talk and mindless so called information. I've made my point and
that's what I was interested in doing.
HTH,
