My system registry was cleaned using CCleaner.(This program is a freeware and downloaded from http://www.ccleaner.com/)
In this process I lost all updates(something around 100 updates..) of windowsXP SP2,which is a pirated version.The updates are periodically down loaded from windows website
And I couldnot undo the action.
But my system is working normal even after loosing the updates listed in control panel>add remove program window.
My doubt is why CCleaner programs recommonded to remove the updates when they are part of widows XP operating program.
And what could be the consequenses I have to face because of the loss of updates in the future.

I have been using CCleaner since September last year. I have never encountered any problem with it. I have even removed the backups. The uninstall menu is optional. You only use it when you want to. The CCleaner that I used has never recommended to remove any updates. Loss of updates may cause your operating system to be unstable and dangerous especially if they are security updates. …. Your system can still be saved though. Just do a manual update yourself by going through the control panel and from there ‘Automatic Updates’ or from the ‘Start’ and then click on ‘Windows Update’ or ‘Microsoft Update’. It will take long time because 100 updates are missing. … Are you sure it is that many? ….. If not you can try doing a ‘system restore’.
I’ve never had a problem with CCleaner and I’ve been using it for about 2 years now. Are you sure that CCleaner deleted the Windows updates? Look in Add or Remove Programs and check on the top of the window "Show updates" and review the list. Are the updates really gone?
