   I used to use CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com) which is free.

   However, it doesn’t have any sort of backup facility which meant that one day, it deleted the wrong registry file and made my computer unable to boot up. I took it to the computer repair store and they wanted $150 to fix it!!!

   I now use a cleaner called "RegAce" because it’s easy to use and has a complete backup system which even makes a restore point on your computer. You can read about it here: http://www.fastregistryfixes.com/regace_review.html

   Well, if it is available for download on Softpedia.com, you can be confident that it is virus, spyware and adware free. Softpedia.com is a highly trusted and respected download source.

   However, registry cleaners can sometimes do more harm than good (especially if you have no idea what entries you are removing.) Secondly, using a registry cleaner, generally, will not improve system performance; or anything else for that matter (as sometimes it is claimed.)

   Unless it offers an option to back-up your registry before making any changes, I wouldn’t touch it.

   EDIT:

   Where do these claims that CCleaner will "protect you from malware" or "clean spyware" keep coming from? CCleaner is not ‘anti-‘ anything; it is a tool designed to clear unused files (temp files, cache, history, etc) and unused registry entries. While personally I find CCleaner’s unused file cleaner very effective, I still don’t bother with it’s registry cleaner. That being said, at least CCleaner does include the ability to back-up your registry before making any changes.

   I read your questions and can’t answer because I know nothing about computers. Ask something else.

   I wouldn’t trust a random program to mess with my registry.

   Try CCleaner … that’s a pretty well respected program.

   I have used CC cleaner but have found an even better one called DiskMax by Koshy John. I found it in the ‘notebook forum review’.
   They have a section called "The Ever Growing – Free Windows Software List". The web addy is: http://forum.notebookreview.com.

   I got rid of CC as Disk Max does heaps more, but CC works fine too. It’s basically whatever you want to use. Good luck.
