    Thanks Vince. I'm still in the camp of CCleaner has never hosed a system. There are always combinations of things done that lead to the odd problems. I thought I had seen a report once, but in questioning the poster it came out that he had run several cleaning/optimizing software in a row before rebooting. CCleaner was just the last in a string run. In fact, it was finally admitted that CCleaner just found a missing reference (no doubt just removed by another program).

    I'm still personally going to only recommend CCleaner, and warn against registry cleaners. Even if it was a "do as I say, not as I do" thing. It's like an ad for a medication on tv..."possible side effects can happen, including headaches, disorientation, suicidal thoughts, and in rare cases, death."

    It's not a good idea for your sanity to look too closely at the side effects of the meds you are taking.

    Still waiting to see a single documented case of CCleaner messing up Win7. Blog posts from before Win7 was released and which are debunked in its own comments section are less than persuasive, as are the "I heard it from a friend who's gotta friend..." reports.

    This is an unfortunate urban legend and slur on genius that stops here, where the Win7 rubber meets the road.

    I have been using Ccleaner for years, all without any notable detrimental affects, and use it similarly to Joshadot.

    95 posts and I am fairly sure no one has changed their minds. Just one of those issues.

    You are spot on. We are all secure in our opinions.
