Title: Is this a good download for cleaning registry?
Post by: ImnoGuru on April 02, 2009, 07:51:37 PM

I was directed to this website (below) from another response from in here. ( cant find it now though).
So I wanted to know if this is a good thing to put on my computer or just a load of crap?

Registry cleaners are a myth and we don't recommend their use here. It isn't one of them that is a scam but there is always great risk when using one and there are free solutions like the one built into CCleaner. Just stick with that and save yourself and your computer from crashing.

You might not be familiar with Bill Castner but he is a very respected computer 'guru' and many people look up to his contributions to online help forums.
