Ultimate Predator Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Even though I never recommend them to other users, I personally would like to know what safe registry cleaners are there? I used CCleaner (with backup) and RegSeeker with RegSeeker customized exclude.ini file from the CCleaner forums (with backup), after my system was acting slightly slower than normal (no spyware or anything), and it made a noticable difference. Are these the safest to use, and if not, what is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 The reg cleaner in EasyCleaner seems quite safe, and its backup feature is completely automatic once configured (which isn't complicated). However, the Duplicates scan included in the package is best avoided, specialized knowledge is needed to know which duplicates are safe to delete.

Mangix Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 i use RegSeeker all the time and i've not noticed any slowdown. safest to use since it's the only one that i haven't had issue with(yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I should have mentioned, been using EasyCleaner for a long time without problems. I run it after CCleaner, it used to find a lot in the registry that CCleaner missed - but with newer versions of CCleaner, it doesn't find very much.

Capman Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I too have been using EasyCleaner for a long time, I guess 5 or 6 years. The only thing it ever broke was MS help, which Toni Helenius quickly wrote a patch for, which restored the registry entry that it removed. Other than that incident, I have found it to be very good.

Ultimate Predator Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Do none of you guys use CCleaner then? I have been using that for ages as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capman Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Yeah, I use CCleaner as well, more often than EasyCleaner actually. I have been using CCleaner for about two, maybe two and a half years I guess, since I first heard about it in the ComputerActive magazine. CCleaner I use on a regular basis, I can't say how regular though, just as and when I think of it really. EasyCleaner is used when I have uninstalled loads of programs for instance, but even then I run CCleaner first. I also run both of them on Patch Tuesday's, which is when I carry out a strict tidying up and sorting out of my computer (and any other computers that I use).

Ultimate Predator Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 I might get it then. I use DiskCleaner included in Windows just for it's SystemRestore point cleaner. But thats all, CCleaner is my main cleaner, RegSeeker my main registry cleaner, but I use CCleaner's reg cleaner as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
