Version: AML Free Registry Cleaner 3
"Good registry cleaner, but aggressive."
Pros: When this registry cleaner opens click create windows registry backup, then click backup and close that window. Click next and it can examine all registry areas, or you can select areas to be examined.
I let it examine all areas and it found 585 invalid registry entries. But I only removed 184 registry entries, that I knew were invalid. Before you click remove all, double click on any registry problem to open the registry editor. And read the name of the registry key for more information. Another nice feature is has is a program uninstaller, that works good for uninstalling programs.
Cons: It's aggressive with the registry so create the backup, because it can be used to restore deleted registry entries.

"Very good freebie but NOT for the faint hearted"
Pros: Excellent but I am in agreement with the last reviewer it is VERY agressive! Very quick and very thorough. I found it very useful and more thorough than any of the other free reg cleaners I have tried so far. It found more invalid entries than any other and exactly the same number as a paid for trial I did last week!
Cons: It may be a little much for anyone with only a basic knowledge of registries. I suggest a back up before scanning. Then go through each registry entry considered invalid, very carefully. If not for the agressiveness I would have given it 5*'s.

Version: AML Free Registry Cleaner 3
Pros: It found over 700 dud entries in my registry.
Cons: It doesn't give much help on the alternatives after scanning, so I just went for "remove all"

Cons: I have Avast! Antivirus software on my PC.
Right as I had downloaded just the INSTALL FILE for this is, it came up with a virus and a trojan warning. I"m not sure if its real or just Avast! being paranoid, but I would 100% reccomend running a full virus scan on any file downloaded. Its just common sense.
This program sounds wonderful for people who know what they're doing with the registry, but I don't want to risk re-installing windows for the second time just because I want to clean my registry for free.
