Registry Cleaner Software

There are two programs that may be of benefit to you. One is 'RegCure', and the other is 'TUT', 'The Ultimate Trouble Shooter'. The use of both of them (together or not) needs to be thought about carefully.
'RegCure' 'cleans' the registry like is says it does. Whether you need that or not is open to debate. That 'TUT' program gives you the oportunity to get rid of some 'parasite' programs, ones that just don't do anything to your benefit. Or the programs that various manufacturers add to software for -their- use, not yours. Gotta be careful with that, but it certainly can be helpful.
Neither of them are free.

You are rolling the dice when you use any kind of "registry cleaner". They tend to overwelm you with "hey ... look what I found, shall we delete all?" question.
Its how you respond next that defines how good it is. Delete the wrong entry and you could render your system un-bootable. I don't recommend any to those that ask the question. Do you feel lucky ...?

Most allow you save a restore point in case of problems. .
Once I get a fresh install of my operating system and programs I make an image and store it on a separate disk. Any problems later or if I buy a new computer it only takes 10 minutes to restore a drive image. All I have to do then is download any updates since my last image.

"AML Free Registry Cleaner" is what I've used for the past twp years. Does an excellent job, and it's FREE.
Not a big fan of auto reg cleaners. HijackThis is good because you can cut and paste the log file and allow people you trust help you out. Then you can run regedit and do it yourself or through hijackThis. I also use spybot search and destroy for malware.
If your having problems run hijack this and cut and paste the log file here.

Yes, that's 3100 degrees F. Nine yrs of hard work.
Some free programs do a decent job, but then even if you pay for the software, it still might not do much better than the FREE version.
With that said, I have used several myself:
CCleaner
Reg Cure
Register Mechanic
Advance System Care.
I now have the paid version of AdvanceSystemCare, it works better than any of the others that I've tired. The "free" version is good, the paid version has just a few more options. It's got a good rating too!
