I've heard some unfounded claims about CCleaner's Registry Cleaners integrity. Here is a direct quote:

"It has come to our attention that the "Registry Integrity" section under the "Issues" tab has lately been causing System problems on some machines. The reg cleaner has been finding problems that don't exist and deleting legitimate registry entries and some of the backups for "Issues" don't work correctly."

I have never personally experienced ANY problems with it can an admin confirm or deny this exists or has ever existed in any versions.

Thanks.

There are no outstanding problems that I'm aware of.
A lot of these comments come from competitors trying to bad-mouth CCleaner.

Best to ignore them :)

Mastertech,

This was an issue that came up a couple of months ago on here, and ended in quite a heated discussion, but thankfully it died a death.

I don't think it needs to be revived.

Thanks but that explains nothing. I am obviously unaware of this could you please link to the discussion then?

Never mind I found it: link

As I suspected no proof of anything. It seems to be more of a ridiculous concern regarding deleting Spybot and Adaware logs and proving how elite he is with Malware. What an idiot.

You can see why I said it did not need reviving, it turned this forum into an unhappy forum for a while.
