'Free' Registry Is Anything But Free

greyteam1959

CCleaner registry cleaner reckons to be free but as far as I can see it is NOT free.
You have to pay to clean 95% of your registry so its not free is it ??

greyteam1959

Can anybody post a link to a totally FREE registry clean ???

System

Can you post a link to where it says that you have to pay to clean 95% of your registry with Ccleaner?

Whatever you have, uninstall it


Download CCLEANER
http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds/downloading-slim
Run the CLEANER scan (UNTICK 'cookies')
Then run the REGISTRY scan (Backup the registry when it asks)


......................................................

Clearly youve downloaded a bogus program so id suggest a clear out of your computer ~
Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
Open malwarebytes and goto UPDATE and click 'check for updates'. After its updated goto SCANNER and click PERFORM FULL SCAN then click SCAN

reboot

Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')

Done the CCleaner as you said.
