Registry clean up

[Mentalmum]

Can anyone recommend a reputable site to get a registry clean up? I don't mind paying but don't want to get ripped off or, far worse, damaging my PC!
I've Googled it but knowing which one to go for is beyond me!!
Cheers me dears!

Why do you need one?

Most people don't need one at all.

I've heard they can cause more harm than good . I use Ccleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ cleans temp files & also has an option to scan & remove registry issues . Gives you option to backup the registry before removing anything

Don't do it...

windows doesn't care about a few dead ends in the registry and most the time they cause more harm then good!

Thanks everyone! Won't bother then!!

Hold on

My pc was as slow as a 3 legged-donkey in the Grand National due to registry issues
But since I bought for a few quid 10 bit software Advanced Windows Care V2 Personal, it is also lifelong so no more fees to pay unless you want to up-grade I run it every week and am amazed at how much stuff it detects and fixes and my pc is now as fast as any front-runner

Thanks Kaw69, you're a star!

mental - don't lisen to kaw (is your first name wayne - kaw?)
the only thing you'll improve is the other guy's access to your pc.

at best it's useless ... at worst .... well it could be a lot worse
ccleaner will do everything you need (that and a little housekeeping ... you need at least 20% of your total disc space free to run efficiently)

look at the records of the people who have answered you.

the first three actually know what they're talking about - kaw .... hopefully its advice with the best possible intent but .... well let's just say three stars is five too many

Thanks everyone! Think i'll put the lid back on the can of worms now!!!
