Registry Cleaners -Do you use any?

[RSpanky]

ccleaner

[Critter2]

Vit Registry Fix

Is one of the best I have ever seen
even though I do believe in keeping a clean registry
I had notice no improvement in speed till I used this one
also had a small freezing problem and was thinking of
reformatting but after using this everything seems to been cleared up
it also has a software section that will allow you to delete old programs
and programs that were installed without your permission
" be very careful with that part"
I do not use the uninstall, there are better programs for that,
I just deleted the uninstall part

If you count Ccleaner, Yes.

[Noob]

To be honest i only use CCleaner for the "Peace of Mind" it brings, makes you feel you did something to clean computer although it might not have any effect.

I find that either CCleaner or Acronis Registry Cleaner are the safest bet.

I have a couple installed that I will run every now and then but lately I work so much I just let Norton 360 do its thing every now and then.

I have Advanced System Optimizer and Tuneup Utilities (never allow them to run all the time, I only want them to work when I say so!)

[TyRidian]

I may have too many cleaning utilities.....HaHaHa

CCleaner
Defraggler
JetClean
SlimCleaner
Vit Registry Fix 12 Professional
Wise Disk Cleaner
Wise Registry Cleaner

Question is - do we need to play with these things so much? Is there a genuine speed advantage that is quantifiable?

Personally I clean mainly because of the Cookies, left Reg entries, disable some start-up stuff etc..
And if there is a speed increase in doing that I don't know, I doubt it's a big increase anyway if at all. But if there is then I don't complain.

And all I use for that is what everyone else is using CCleaner of course.
I don't need anything else since it can do everything I want.

It isn't a huge increase in speeds, but I feel that it does maintain the speed you already have and add just a tiny bit more, rather in time degrading the system, if I were to never use any.

and also it's particularly important for xp systems.......not much for win 7 imo...

I use them under Windows 7, and It does feel a bit better after I have done cleaning. I may use too many, 7 might be overkill (3 reg, 3 disk, 1 defrag).

Oh you should have seen my setup a few years back (When I installed a lot). I had somewhere around 22 system utilities.

WinASO Registry Optimizer

[Securit]

CCleaner

Now I'm using the registry cleaners included in CCleaner Portable and in jv16 PowerTools 2012.

I have just tried Wise Registry Cleaner v7.17 and all the entries it found were legit. Many pertaining to Internet Explorer which I have uninstalled on my system as soon as I installed Windows since I only use Firefox..


So far so good.

I've used wise registry cleaner for a long time. It has improved a lot. And now it's free. It is very effective.

[Amit]

I use Ccleaner.

Never heard of this so I had to try it out since you seem to like it. I have to say thank you! Thanks so much. I love this program. I have paid for many cleaners and this one really does make a difference for once. For only 10.00 I am amazed. I recommend this to anyone!
