Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
If you've noticed your system is running slower, or you've just purged your hard drive of several programs, this registry scanner may be the program for you.
Registry Cleaner provides an intuitive design and a quick scanning tool that is easily mastered. We were happy to see that users can choose to back up the current registry files before scanning, just in case something critical gets deleted or misplaced. While this seems like an obvious feature for a registry cleaner, we've seen quite a few without this must-have safeguard. After the back up, scanning is just a few clicks away. Users can choose to do a full scan or pick and choose several scan types. The scan typically took less than three minutes on our machines. After the scan is complete, a list of registry files is displayed, and users can select which files to clean. Once the files are deleted, users have the option to undo any previous cleanups.
Despite Registry Cleaner's ease of use, tampering with the registry is risky. We recommend this quick and effective tool to intermediate users and above who have a desire to tidy up their registry.

"Malicious web site"
Version: Registry Cleaner 1.5
Pros
None that I can find.
Cons
My Norton software identified the download site as a malicious site.
Summary
I will go no farther with this download. I have no desire to put my computer at risk. If Symantec says it's a malicious download, that's all I need to hear to stop.
Baits you with "free," finds over 11,000 errors, then offers to fix 20 of them. Yes, 20. To fix all 11,000 you have to buy the full version. A waste of time, computer space, etc. . . I hate companies that do this crap!

Updated on Oct 14, 2012Sorry, most recent update was incorrect and was about a different product. Clicked the wrong link accidentally. This product was not tried, for the above reasons. So far I've wasted 15 minutes trying to find a good, free registry cleaner. -

"Has trojans and really messed up my laptop."
Version: Registry Cleaner 1.5
Pros
It is freeware.
Cons
It is freeware.
Summary
I may have to send the laptop back to HP for repair. It will not allow updates, it causes Vipre to loop but Malwarebytes is really good. A Vipre tech is calling me this afternoon and he is going to attempt to solve the problem. The machine was received on 12/21 and it got a trojan from your program.

"Cnet should remove this download"
Version: Registry Cleaner 1.5
Pros
None at all considering the infection.
Cons
It is infected with the Artemis Trojan. Do not download this software at any cost. It also deletes your restore files in XP so you can't roll back. Despite what some others have said here, the good people of cnet don't seem to listen.
Summary
DO NOT DOWLOAD. CNET, listen and remove this item. McAfee could detect it, but not remove it. Microsoft Malware tool did not find it. Only Malwarebytes software could get it out.
-
