Do NOT use so-called Registry Cleaners !

You don't. *There is no need to clean the Registry. *It is a myth to sell snake oil. *Very

"Very often these so-called Registry Cleaners are malware. "
As are some AV programs....and your point is? It's a personal choice
whether or not to use a reg program.
You believe in the "snake oil" theory (and that's all it is, a
THEORY.) no-one here has yet mentioned specifics. Name of program/what
it did wrong/resulting chaos etc. It's all very well slagging away
but, like politicians, smoke & mirrors/hot air. A great percentage of
negative posters here have been persuaded by the other negative
posters. Not one of them has a positive example of damage inflicted on
a system.
NOW we should see loads of 2nd- & 3rd-hand examples of how PC's have
been totalled through using Registry Cleaners. :-)
