"Use it post install as a ..."
Version: Error 1704 Cleanup Utility 2
Pros
Does what it intends to do. Does what it does quickly. Does its thing minus stupid ware of any kind.
Cons
Get a life...
Summary
I use this thing as a preventative measure post install any product just in the off chance I embraced an idiot application or my system's slimed up from ware of some misfit orientation.
Had a similar problem with the good ol' MSI service regarding a Silverlight 3 plug-in that inadvertently screwed my .Net framework rendering quite a great deal of work and time in Vista Ultimate mute. Needless to say the rest is red in the face history.
This bad boy may have had been of some assistance if I had only known of its existence then.
You could probably get away with installing an application, do a system reboot to be on the safe side, fire up the application to get it some system and registry burn in, possibly reboot your system one more time, and then use this cleaner regardless.

"Worked Great."
Version: Error 1704 Cleanup Utility 2
Pros
Simple interface, virus free, worked.
Cons
False positive - had to add to my exceptions list.
Summary
It works and does not contain a virus, so the bottom line is that it is a great program.

"Doesn't work, may have malware"
Version: Error 1704 Cleanup Utility 2
Pros
Sounds promising
Cons
I ran regmon to see what it was doing and the app killed it. Didn't fix the problem. Many AV vendors flag it as malware. May be OK as I assume it's doing a lot of registry updates which can look like malware. But be safe.

"Identified as "MALWARE" by Avast, which is also rated as "5 stars" on this site"
Version: Error 1704 Cleanup Utility 2
Pros
I terminated the download because Avast Anti-virus software -- another bit of freeware identified on download.com as 5 stars -- identified the .Zip file as MALWARE.
Cons
You may think this is irony. For me, it's confirmation the clowns at CNET aren't nearly as smart as they should be.
