May I tag on here to ask your opinion on CCleaner?

Hello again (-:!

In general, and particularly on this 'group, it's unwise to tag on with
that sort of change, since (in this case) those who have views on
CCleaner may have dropped out of what seems to be a pro/anti
Malwarebytes thread.

But anyway: the general consensus here seems to be that CC is in general
a Good Thing, as long as you don't use its registry cleaning facility.

And that's more because there is strong feeling here that registry
cleaners in general should be avoided, rather than that CC's one is bad.

Registry Cleaners: views range from the extreme of "don't touch them
with a bargepole, they're all snake-oil", to the moderate of "cleaning
the registry rarely gives any perceptible benefit, and can break your
system - sometimes in ways that won't show up for sufficiently long that
you won't associate the breakage with having run the registry cleaner".
(There _are_ a few with even more moderate views - ranging from actually
in favour, to at least "they've never done me any harm"; however, such
views are rarely expressed because they always trigger a response from
the more rabid antis. Just watch how even this post will.)
