    Agreed, he needs something like I've posted which cleans the registry and also defrags it....................it will also do lots more and leave the computer running like new

    Your showing your lack of knowledge now!

    whilst elements of TU are good, I'd never use the full suite on a pc. Tried it once and it messed up the pc :( The networking parts are useful.

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    Not really unless you can talk someone through defragging the registry without an app. Now if you can do that I'd be very impressed and thats just one small part of Tuneup

    The title of this thread may be Registry Cleaner but the OP was simply taken in by the advertising that he saw and was advised against using the program. We still don't know what his problem is and he has still not posted a full HJT log yet.

    There is nothing wrong with someone wishing to speed up their computer though so please don't make an issue out of it. As someone pointed out the reg cleaner on its own is a complete waste of time anyway but at least I went on to help with what can make his/her computer like new

    It cleans the reg, it defrags the reg, it cleans all the clutter, it speeds up the downloads etc etc

    Unless you done a fresh install you couldn't do better

    Ether-way the OP doesn't have to take my word, he can take the words of all the reviewers

    It builds over time with crap, thats a fact. Cleaning it and defraging it from time to time does make a difference. You can ignore all the reviews of people who have seen this first hand if you like but it doesn't change the fact

    How?

    I have never seen anything credible in support of the claims perpetrated by these type of programs.
