    Registry cleaners are, in general, considered by many as snake oil and are not recommended. That said, CCleaner includes a registry cleaner (but backup your registry first).

    asser,

    Often it's better to seek advice prior to purchasing a product.

    Generic advice -
    If you do not have knowledge of the registry, then you would probably be better off leaving it alone, and definitely not placing blind trust in a program to do the job for you.

    To advise anyone that a "Registry Cleaner" works, and that it will fix or speed up their machine {or all the other nonsense that is often propagated about these things} can mislead people.

    Should you decide to go ahead -
    Make sure you have
    1.a current System Restore point created.
    2.a recent "Back up" of your computer- preferably to an external HD.


    FYI
