Reg Mechanic finds over 90 each time, Reg Cure finds a lot more, and yet each time I scan…there’s some left. Why are some "Free" and "The good ones" cost ? A SCAM not a SCAN !! That’s 4 questions, but the gist is there…any relative answer would be nice. Thanks !

Depending on who you talk to, some people swear by registry cleaners and others swear AT registry cleaners. Here’s just one tech writer’s opinion:

Personally, I’ve used a free registry cleaner called ccleaner. I had an issue with my computer that left me with one option – a reformat and reinstall. So I figured, "What do I have to lose?" I ran the registry cleaner portion of this utility and it worked. Didn’t have to reformat after all. So I became a believer and I use ccleaner every few months. The nice thing about it is it has an automatic backup feature and after I use it, I uninstall it until the next time. You can take a look at the "quick tour" and see what you think.

Ultimately, it’s an individual choice and I won’t fault someone who decides not to use a registry cleaner. You could also check some other sites like CNET or PC World and see what they’ve had to say about freeware and paid cleaners. Hope some of this helps.
