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.

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.
