Using a product like CC Cleaner can damage your Windows installation, and should not be used unless you understand exactly what it's doing.
how do you know it does this and what does it do to damage the windows installation?
im just curious because i havent heard anything about this :DMessage Edited by neighberaaron on 10-02-2006 07:00 PM

thanks but i was looking for more along the lines of your insight on this and Ccleaner.
Ccleaner is different from many other registry cleaners, it may not delete as much, but it was built from the ground up to be safe.

im just curious because i havent heard anything about this :DIn the future, by using the Advanced Forum Search on the bottom of this page, you can quite easily find the answer to this often asked question. You can read all about people having to reinstall Windows due to "registry cleaners" causing damage.- It is only as safe as the person using it.
If you tell it to delete the wrong items,
some programs or even windows will not work.
It is intended for Experienced Computer Users.
If you feel you must use it, please Read The Help
files and be sure you understand what every option
does before you use them. neighberaaron

i think that even a beginner could use Ccleaner easily as long as they didnt tick off anything under the advanced section.
ive been using it for a long time now and even with everything checked, no problems exist.

I also use a reg cleaner call reg first aid, from Rose City Software. I use reg compresser also. I am a newbe and I have heard that it is not a good thing to go in to the regestry and mess around, so I use the cleaners.
d_may:I'm not familiar with the cleaners you use, but you should understand that any registry cleaner, particularly in inexperienced hands, has the potential to "mess around" with the registry and cause all sorts of problems. I would advise against their use.

CCleaner causes a lot of issues and can be very problematic on computers. Every time they claim to have fixed something it breaks numerous other things. There are a lot of on their forums who act like they know things about whats wrong when they spout total nonsense. TonyKlein is the only sensible member there. If some idiot like rridgely, TwistedMetal, or the so called developer MrG try to help you then expect a broken computer. My friend used this software at a tech shop, until it broke a computer and he had to spend 30 minutes more to fix everything CCleaner broke. The program also has bundled Yahoo Toolbar to try and make extra money which leads you to see where this program has been going. Boycott it soon because something better will appear very soon.
