Twaddle...

My experience proves otherwise.

I clean my Registry periodically with JV16 Powertools 100% only
to get rid of unnessary clutter such as obsolete or invalid keys,
leftover shortcuts and the like. Can't say I have ever seen a
performance increase, though.

That is an absurd claim, cleaning the registry does not
improve performance.

I've run tests on several machines and CCleaner's Registry
Cleaner has improved performance on nine of them -- as
compared to exactly identical machines without CCleaner.

Nonsense...

CCleaner is safe as a Registry Cleaner....

CCleaner's registry scanner seems relatively benign, as
long as you
step through each detected "issue" one at a time, to
determine if it really is an "issue" or not, and then
decide whether or not to let the application "fix" it. In
my testing, though, most of the reported "issues" won't be
issues, at all. I tried the latest version on a brand-new
OS installation with no additional applications installed,
and certainly none installed and then uninstalled, and
CCleaner still managed to "find" over a hundred allegedly
orphaned registry entries and dozens of purportedly
"suspicious" files.

CCleaner's sole strength, and the only reason I use it,
lies in its
usefulness for cleaning up unused temporary files from the
hard drive; as a registry "cleaner," it's not significantly
better or worse than any other snake oil product of the
same type.

And improves performance.

Utterly untrue. *NO* registry "cleaner" has ever been
proven to improve performance; the actions they perform are
not the sort that could have any affect on a computer's
performance.
