Registry Cleaners
I know what you're thinking and I completely agree with you. No one should ever use these types of programs. They cause more problems then they solve. However...On occasion I get re-curious as to the state of this type of software and every couple of years i'll re-visit them to test their abilities. Perhaps out of curiosity then anything else. But as par for the course, I like to get others input before spending time on them.
My aims this time round is to determine which reg cleaners are 64bit capable (as opposed to those that just claim to be) and which aren't and which are actually just plain old malware. There is also the requirement that they be completely free.
The contenders this time are:
- Ace Utilities
- TweakNow RegCleaner 2011
So far a scan of their installers doesn't reveal any malware and an attempt install shows that they all try to install to \\program files (x86)\. This leads me to believe that they are only 32bit aware cleaners and as such, would be insufficient/ineffective on a 64bit installation.
Anyone else know about any 64bit reg cleaning software?
