If there was real evidence the subject would not controversial. However,
you can see where the balance of opinion in the Microsoft newsgroups
lies.

It is alleged that using a Registry cleaner is dangerous to the
extent of corpsing a computers and that the advantage of using them
is outweighed by the danger of using them. I acknowledge that just
because I haven't experienced any problems with using two registry
cleaners over several years proves not that there are no dangers
rather that I just may be lucky. I also acknowledge that cleaning a
registry may not produce a reasonable return in terms of decreasing
the size of the file or decreasing processing time.

I wouldn't wish to doubt the views posted so far. However, in this
thread I see nothing more than anecdotal evidence. Just using a
computer has hidden dangers from badly behaving software, incomplete
installs and uninstalls and even spikes and surges but that isn't a
valid view for not using a computer. Is there anything more
substantial on this subject?
