I've been using it for over a month and had no problems at all.
Why not be specific?

a few online reviews of this software:
Cons: Ran registry mechanic and now I can't fax anymore. Neither the programs undo feature or Windows Restore would correct it. I wonder what else you broke, Registry Mechanic.
Cons:However it wants to remove many essential entries and caused my pc to conclusively crash. I had to reload much of my software including Windows XP and Norton AV!
Cons: Unless you are extremely careful this program can delete wanted information to allow programs susch as McAfee Anti-Virus to function properly
Pros: I realy wonder how they manage to show a dwarf as a giant. "Registry Mechanic" is a middle to low value cleaner, far behind than "Registry Washer", "nCleaner" and the high value cleaners as "TuneUp Utilities", "Windows Optimizer - Registry Cleaner and Fixer", "PC Repair", "WinASO Registry Optimizer" and the very good "Registry Repair".

Registry Mechanic scores event after "RegDoctor" or "Ace Utilities" and "XP Tools".

"Registry Mechanic" managed (by payed critics of magazines? by a great scale of advertisiment?) to persuade the vast public that their "cleaner" is a top one. In fact it a low class application.

Cons: Out of around 78 Registry errors I had in my system "Registry Mechanic" found and fixed only 3 (yes, believe it) while the other ones were scaning (each of them) at list 60 -70 errors.

In fact I used it earlier today as well
Works fine.
No problems to report

Oh and I have Windows Optimizer too
I once used Registry Mechanic after using WO just to see and it picked up errors that WO didnt

This is a nightmare piece of software when used by people who have no clue what they are doing. I would strongly advise people to stay away from it and don't go messing with their registries. If you mess up the registry, you could well end up having to reinstall the OS.

AS above A far safer choice for Registry cleaner is Ccleaner available as a free download at http://www.ccleaner.com/ . Alan.

I can recommend Ccleaner. I use it myself. It's easy and fairly safe.
