How safe are the registry cleaners/boosters ?
Hi this question is intended for techies and hardcore users alike.I have received a lot of suggestion for using ccleaner,Glary utilities,PC Health Advisor etc.But is it really safe to leave your registry for repair to these type of cleaners ?
I have had reports of people who said the reg cleaner they used caused problem as some replaced and deleted important registry entries !!!
So forget the brands,just how safe are they ?
Registry cleaners are completely unnecessary.
Cleaning your registry will not improve computer performance or make it run faster.
There are built-in computer maintenance programs for that and they are easy to use.
Registry cleaners commonly delete items that computers actually need, then it falls to the user to figure out how to repair the mess.

As long as you’re using a good one from a good developer you will be safe. It’s when you get into the more advanved registry cleaners, and start fooling around with stuff you don’t know how to use properly when most of the errors pop up. I’ve been using registry cleaners for years and have never had issues at all with them

None are totally safe. If u use one, it’s best to carefully go through whatever changes they are contemplating to your registry (most will give u advance notice of what actions they are going to take before they actually perform them). U can then do research on each item to see if it’s going to affect your system negatively or not.
Be aware that this research will be time consuming most likely because these registry cleaners usually find many items to process.
