Hi All,

just after a few views, been using Ccleaner for a very long time. cant fault the software.

Any way i Use the registry Scan tool all the time and today i fixed 40 errors.

But i just wanted to test how good the registry tool was, and i compared it with another tool called "Eusing Free Registry Cleaner"

Though this Register cleaner seems to have more tick boxes options i tried to mirror the same ones as Ccleaner.

and would you believe it with the same ticks, "Eusing Free Registry Cleaner" has found an additional 300+ faults?

so is CCleaner Missing Something or does Ccleaner Registry tool need a long awaited update?

This gets asked all the time - the answer is that CCleaner is a safe reg cleaner, just because another cleaner finds more allegedly invalid entries doesn't mean those entries are safe to remove (in fact usually quite the opposite)

It's the same as alot of anti virus software. Giving fake resualts and then asking the user for money.

as said above just because it says there is a lot to rmeove does not make it safe to do so.

stick with ccleaner
No fate but what we make

Fully agree ... I have had terrible times with RegSeeker. I did lots of such comparison and RegSeeker always showed hundreds items more than CCleaner, my fault was to completely trust RegSeeker, what in fact forced me to reinstall XF Pro. I am not blaming RegSeeker I rather see myself as a culprit but ultimately for me and other ordinary PC users, CCleaner is the best safe choice in the end. RegSeeker and other registry cleaners must be used very carefully. CCleaner takes of me such personal care and responsibility for safe cleaning instead.

It's a shame really. So many people fool for this great big advert saying NUMBER #1 CLEANER COMPUTER TIMES BEST RATED or what ever. Download the 'free scan' and see hundreds of listed entrys,. Then hand over money.
