Do they really make much of a difference performance wise??? Should i get one like ccleaner or tune-up utilities??
I want to know because i am deciding between norton 360 2.0 and norton internet security 2008 and the only difference i care about is that the new 360 also includes a reg cleaner.
Help appreciated!!

Yeah they definitely make a difference but they’re not all created equal so you have to pick a quality one. I actually made a review site about some of the more popular ones available. You can check out my site here:

I love Netcom3 personally since provides both registry cleaning and live protection from spyware/adware. But pick the software that suits you best. Hope that helped.
When you install and uninstall many programs, you need a good registry cleaner. You mention TuneUp Utilities. It has 19 different programs and one is registry cleaner, I have been using TuneUP since a couple of years. I bought the full version without the 30 days trial period. You could do that, because the trial offers full use. http://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities/
CCleaner has also a registry cleaner and one you can trust and it is of course free
Why are people willing to believe the registry is dirty? If there is a specific problem, fix it. Otherwise don’t rile the gremlins. Extra data in the registry usually doesn’t hurt, and changing the wrong data can turn your computer into a doorstop.
Yes, they really make a difference, especially if you have done a lot of program installing and uninstalling. Cleaning the registry will make the computer run faster and with a lot less errors.
As noted above, Ccleaner, is a free download and free forever junk and registry cleaner, it works very well.
Most registry cleaners are free to download, but will fix nothing without paying.
you can rely of CCleaner freeware for registry cleaning
The registry is actually a database use by Windows.
Sometime when you uninstall a program. The uninstaller doesn’t remove the references to a dll file.
This may cause exception errors because Windows doesn’t know the dll file have been remove.
The registry cleaner help to remove these bad references so that Windows won’t show funny errors messages.
I have use registry scrub and found that it really make a differences.
