My system registry was cleaned using CCleaner.

In this process I lost all updates(something around 100 updates..) of windowsXP SP2,which is a pirated version.The updates are periodically down loaded from windows website

And I couldnot undo the action.

But my system is working normal even after loosing the updates listed in control panel>add remove program window.

My doubt is why CCleaner programs recommonded to remove the updates when they are part of widows XP operating program.

And what could be the consequenses I have to face because of the loss of updates in the future.

Raghu I am afraid these forums don't condone the use of pirated copies of Windows.

You would be well advised to get a legal copy.

I assume you are talking about the hotfix uninstallers cleaning (in the cleaners advanced section). If so you haven't removed any updates, you've removed the uninstallers, thats why they don't show up in 'Add/Remove' any more.

Perhaps you should try understanding software better before blindly running any next time (CCleaner Beginners guide), especially when running something clearly marked 'Advanced', you may not get away so lightly next time

I seriously don't think we should be helping anyone whom admits the usage of a pirated copy of Windows.
This thread should have stopped, and been locked after Hazelnut's reply.
