Re: Uniblue Registry Booster and registry scans.

I have used PC Tools "Registry Mechanic" for about 2 years and I have
found it to be quick, easy and reliable.

Out of curiosity, I ran Uniblue's trial product AFTER a full scan &
clean up by Registry Mechanic.

You'll never guess what. Uniblue reported over 120 errors in my
registry.

I checked again with Registry Mechanic and there were no errors.

How strange is that? It's almost as if Uniblue is trying to deceive me
so I buy their product. But that can't be, can it?

Of course it was, because ALL Registry cleaners are snake oil, they do
NOTHING useful and more times than not, can foul up your system to the
point only a reinstall can repair it. So that result doesn't surprise me
at all. I've seen people report these "registry cleaners" report over
100 errors on a freshly installed copy of Windows, how could that be
possible?

Best advice, get rid of "Registry Mechanic" and avoid all programs like
it, the registry never needs to be "cleaned", "optimized" or anything
else of the sort. Leave the registry alone if you don't know what you
are doing with it.

Then consider yourself lucky. Registry cleaning programs are *all*
snake oil. Cleaning of the registry isn't needed and is dangerous.
Leave the registry alone and don't use any registry cleaner. Despite
what many people think, and what vendors of registry cleaning software
try to convince you of, having unused registry entries doesn't really
hurt you.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.

Let me point out that neither I nor anyone else who warns against the
use of registry cleaners has ever said that they always cause
problems. If they always caused problems, they would disappear from
the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
cleaner and never had a problem with it.

Rather, the problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
the substantial *risk* of having a problem. And since there is no
benefit to using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
bargain.

Sure it can.

If you want to mess up your system, just install and run uniblue or any
other so-called registry cleaners.
