CCleaner odd Issues -- Ahhhh!!!

[DarkDavil]

Check out ALL of these registry issues --> Can i delete all of them?





RAWR!

Thanks

EDIT: Those are the missing keys on a CLEAN Iinstall --

Before deleting hit yes to backup the registry. If anything will go bad after that you can restore them.
I never had problems deleting registry with CCleaner.

 

[Mercurial]

yea everything is safe to delete

 

[Antman]

No disrespect intended...

Because you have to ask the question, the answer must be - Do not use a registry cleaner. You are only asking for trouble.

I will provide an alternative response - No, they are not safe to delete. And no, I did not even look at them.

I can tell you about the bitlocker entries, if you delete those listed, it will erase the turn on bitlocker context menu entry when you right click on a storage device. Not that you might ever use it, but still..

What Antman said.

If your aim is to damage the OS installation, there are easier ways of doing it than running "registry cleaners".

Also untick unused extensions, its best to leave extensions alone.

 

[DarkDavil]

Lol - Okay I'll leave those un-used extensions alone

@Antman -- Reg. Cleaners have been EXTREMLY helpful to me... Im a guy who is constantly installing/uninstalling things off of my W7 lappy.

But anyway, Thanks for response, Rep for all ^^

You should be able to get a discount for MSCE then.

As far as it goes, I just pop open the registry after uninstalling a program and look for anything that mentions said program and delete it. Much safer that way.

True - I'll probably stick to doin it that way from now on too

Slightly OT but be sure to update CCleaner to the latest version (2.24). Oh, and update your graphics drivers.

There's nothing wrong with using CCleaner to remove junk left behind from removed software. I've been using it extensively for three years now, and have even used it on my company systems that I roll out to aid in clean up, removing of malware, and assiting in removing old versions of Office, to make way for new versions, etc. Not once have I had any issues with it removing something useful, and if you are worried about it, you can always restore your backup. No MSCE needed. CCleaner has other useful parts as well, such as the tool to disable start up items as well. It's a great program, and one of the first things I install on all of my systems.

That would be great, if all programs clearly labeled and named all of their registry entries. There's no harm in using a reputable reg cleaner. The days of fearing those apps are in the past, again, assuming you use a known good one.

recently i formatted my system due to bad effects of c cleaner

 

[sommarblond]

Been using CCleaner for more then a year, using all its features and i never had any kind of problem, in fact it fixed my problems and keeping my OS fast and clean.

 

[ja3hawk]

Just wanted to mention that I've been using CCleaner for years and not once have I had issues with the registry cleaning. I will say though, that the registry cleaner in CCleaner is probably a bit conservative. (Especially for Vista and 7)

 

[TheSchaft]

I've used CCleaner for years also, on XP systems. Before the recent update I have heard that there were some problems, but I didn't use it before updating it, and have seen no problems.

FWIW, IObit 360 IObit Security 360 | Free Anti-malware | Free Download has a similar feature in it under Tools > Privacy Sweeper.

If you want freeware use CCleaner but you could have some troubles with it: bad support and options that missing as selective deleting and shred options.

If you want to give, I think $29.00 but to get really stable and custom software with the richest base of supported internet/browsers tracks, use Mil Shield.

Teerex, obviously do you have not the remotest idea about this free-month trial software.
