Also false.
So how do you take care
of registry problems? You simply use a registry cleaner which will
do all of the hard work for you. It will automatically repair any
problems and help you get rid of unnecessary data.
Besides being spam, that's terrible advice. Registry cleaning
programs are *all* snake oil. Cleaning of the registry isn't needed
and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and don't use any registry
cleaner. Despite what many people think, and what vendors of registry
cleaning software try to convince you of, having unused registry
entries doesn't really hurt you.
The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner
erroneously removing an entry you need is far greater than any
potential benefit it may have.

You need to understand that having a damaged registry can ultimately
result in corruption of you entire operating system, which can then
sometimes become totally unusable. This is why you need to make use
of a good quality registry cleaner which can perform regular system
checks to make sure that any potential problems are repaired....
Completely false, as above.
