Is it necessary to have a registry cleaner?

I currently have Max Registry Cleaner on my PC.

However, brief conversations with various friends and computer specialists, over the past months, I have the impression that they seem to think having a Registry Cleaner is a waste of space on a computer and is not necessary.

Can you give me some advice on this, please?

It is much worse than "not necessary." It's a very dangerous thing to do.

Registry cleaning programs are * all * snake oil. The registry cleaning is not necessary and dangerous. Let alone register and do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and what software record cleaning providers are trying to you convince to have used the registry entries is not really make you hurt.

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

Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns against the use of registry cleaners has never said that they always cause problems. If they have 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.

The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it the essential * risk * to have a problem. And since there is no advantage to using a registry cleaner, running the risk is a very bad deal.

  • I have Microsift Essentials, but do I need a registry cleaner also

    I don't know if Microsoft Essentials is also a record. I don't know a lot about the registry, but asked me to buy one after that I ran the free scan. The analysis said that I had more than 100 errors. I don't know if they are just trying to sell me something I don't need it or not.

    I searched the Microsoft site but did not find anything as a registry cleaner.

    Microsoft Security Essentials is an excellent anti-virus software, but he's not trying to sell you anything. What you describe looks like you are infected by a malware program trying to sell you something.

I put the disc - extract files-(he says they have been unpacked) was a new step for me to do after that? Help, please!
    Thank you!

    Hello
     
    We recommend that you install the router (see its manual) and the pilot of NIC once more and check the difference. In the first post, you mentioned that you decompressed or extracted files. Once the files are extracted, you will be asked to install the driver. However if you do not receive any prompts for the driver, then you will need to locate the destination folder where the files are checked to find the configuration file.

    Open the destination folder where the files are extracted and run the Setup file to complete the installation.
     
    To download and install the latest network card driver, visit the site Web of the manufacturer of the device or system.
     
     
    I hope this helps.

  • That if I have already used a registry cleaner?

    I read the discussion, and I realize that there is no advantage to using a registry cleaner. What should I do if I've already used one? Thanks for the valuable information on this forum...

    Hello Lawrence_55,

    Let me first of all and it is a contentious issue, not all registry cleaners cause problems. Yes some do and the greatest consensus among users is "do not use Registry cleaners. Unfortunately, like most things, it is a case of caveat emptor (buyer beware)! Maybe the registry cleaners should come with a Government health warning!

    If you used a registry cleaner. By used, I guess he showed you had thousands of orphaned registry entries and you will have to remove them?

    Any registry cleaner worth his salt will have a recovery mode, in which case if you have problems you can restore the registry system back to how it was before the registry cleaner cleaned.

    Given that you have cleaned your system, you can check to see if there is a restore option. Default by providing the installation of registry cleaner is not in the dim distant past, you could do a system restore to a point before when you installed the registry cleaner. This, at least, will put your PC back to how it was previously.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • What is the best way to correct the registry errors without the use of a registry cleaner in XP?

    I am sorry to raise this issue that so many people who have asked me.  I read pages and pages of discussions on the MS forum on this subject, and without exception, all the experts said Microsoft registry cleaners are completely unnecessary and that junk in the registers has no performance impact at all.  Instead, they say, to do x, y and z.  I am running Windows XP on my desk for five years, and gradually, he got so slow it's almost unbearable.  It takes 10-15 minutes just to start, and sometimes it takes 2 minutes or more just to open a window of browser (IE8) or go to the previous page by using the arrow to the left.  Before you tell me all the things it could be, please let me say that:

    1. my PC has not always been this slow!  It is getting worse.

    2. all my Windows software is up to date.  I have automatic updates on.

    3. I have a lot of disk space, almost 75% of free space on a hard drive of 80 GB.

    4. my PC is free of viruses, spyware and Trojans.  I have McAfee antivirus running and I also sometimes run Malwarebytes and Trojan Killer, because they always find things that don't have McAfee.

    5. I defragment my hard drive on a regular basis.

    6. I regularly delete all my temporary files by using the Windows Disk Cleanup utility.

    7. I have very little, if any "Add-ons".  No toolbar Yahoo or Google (or Bing!).

    8. I removed nearly every program that I start, so that they are not running in the background.

    9. I uninstalled all the programs that I don't use.

    However, I still have a slow ever-more computer.  Sometimes, when I see ads on TV to increase the speed of my PC, I download the 'free' software, and they claim to find hundreds or thousands of "registry errors.  When I look at the newspapers, I see many entries in registry for 'Netscape' and 'Google Earth', which I uninstalled years ago, as well as entries for the videos that I downloaded, seen once, and deleted a long time ago.

    So, what's the problem?  If it's not related to my registry (which Trojan Killer says has more 6 000 entries!), what else could be?  I would appreciate greatly any advice you can give, because there are dozens of companies on their touting their registry cleaners and the uninstall (for a price) programs, and after reading reviews of the MS MVPs, I'm skeptical of their claims.  Thank you.  :)

    I can't disagree with a lot of things have already been said.

    I'm willing to accept that your machine does actually takes 10 to 15 minutes on the clock. It's completely absurd.

    Some people call your "Windows Rot" problem. Becomes just the slower windows over time. It is a collection of things that are happening in the background. Yes I believe that the register contributes. Using a registry cleaner is not a "magic" solution But it can help a little.

    The PC care program/process you described is above average.  I suggest you add CCleaner. Disk Cleanup is not bad, CCleaner is better, cleaning of other stuff which does not resemble the DC. It won't be a significant difference because disk space is not your problem, but it will help a little.

    'Play' with the registry is VERY risky. If you decide to go ahead, I would say that first make you a copy of the full image backup using a utility that can be started and run from a CD/DVD. Just in case the registry cleaner breaks of your machine.

    Registry cleaners is that they take a "best estimate" to what is no longer necessary. Sometimes they think wrong. And each vacuum cleaner will clean slightly different sets of places.  If the tool does not provide a way to back up the registry before you start cleaning, do not use it. He is not careful enough.

    If vacuuming offer 'levels' of cleaning, enjoy. Open for more aggressive cleaning, with resetting and long series of normal use between cleanings.

    You are looking for a tool which also makes registry "defragmentation". The registry is a database that get disorganized by additions and deletions. Defragmentation will be re - organize and get rid of a 'lost' space, making it the smallest file, afterwards faster to read.  It is not something you need to do frequently, but since you've never done it in 5 years, it would help, after cleaning registry.

    Another place to find CPU and RAM wasted resources is Windows Services. These are small programs that start at boot time. They run in the background and provide support services to all applications or specific applications.  Many applications services are running even though you don't really need them. You can find information on which you can set by Googling for 'Windows XP hardening'. There are a lot of sites with good information. They call it hardening because by disabling unnecessary stuff, you leave less possible openings for the "bad guys" to the attack.

    Ultimately, I think your best bet will simply bite the bullet and re - install windows and all your applications. It's the best way to restore your computer to almost any performance fees factory. (It is not exactly factory fresh because you need to add a ton of Windows updates).

    Before you re-install, do copy image 1 or more full backups. At least one must be done using a tool that will easily allow you to extract the files. You data backup files separately to make it easier to restore the reinstallation. IE, copy it to a USB key.

    Many "experts" actually expect to, and do, re - install windows every 6-12 months!  I think it's a bit exaggerated, but they swear by it.

    Once you do your re - install, create a copy of the magnified image
    Install a firewall application (before the windows updates)
    Once you do all updates of windows, create a copy of the magnified image
    After that you re-install all your apps, create another copy of the complete picture.

    In this way, in the future, you have more current points to restore your computer to. It will reduce the time you spend to get back to the current configuration.

    On a 5 year old XP machine, you have probably 512 MB - 1 GB of RAM. You might also consider taking in the shop (or DIY) and bump the RAM up to at least 2 GB or better still max out.  The current versions of the applications use much more memory than they did 5 years ago. Even XP will be since he has been seriously corrected since then.

    Your registry cleaner allows you to make a backup? If so, use it.
    If this is not the case, do a system restore to the date before the execution of the registry
    cleaner.

  • Registry Cleaner deleted files needed to run Vista

    original title: Registry Cleaner Messed Up Vista!

    Well, I ran a registry cleaner on my Vista computer. Now, it has removed the elements of my system I guess it shouldn't have. I can't do anything. I try the system restore, but it doesn't have the necessary files for it or something. It does not connect to the internet. When I try to reinstall vista it says also the information on disk is not found. So I'm really worried now. Can someone help me please!

    And now you know why the registry cleaners are bad. If the program has an undo feature, use it. If it is too late for that, back up your data and do a restore clean factory/install of Windows. If you tried to do a factory restore (if that's what you mean by "try to reinstall vista [translation]... the information on disk is not found") and it fails, the registry cleaner probably destroyed the original hard disk image. Communicate with technical support of computer mftr. and the purchase of recovery disks. This is normally not very expensive. And do not use Registry cleaners/optimizers once again.

  • is there a registry cleaner free

    Is there a registry cleaner free of Microsoft?

    It has been/is a registry cleaner in Windows Live One Care safety analysis.

    Years, they released a product called RegClean 4 which was necessary to maintain the size of the registry, Win 9 x small enough so that it wouldn't crash the machine. He never removed the safer of the entries, and I guess that the OneCare registry cleaner works in the same direction.

    There are three types of registry cleaner.

    Type #1 does nothing but remove safer entries and has therefore no impact on performance.

    Note that the OneCare cleaner registry is just one part of a major clean-up operation and is not sold as the main element ' go faster '...

    #2 type removes entries more safe but also other flags entered as potential candidates for removal. This type can remove some features because it offers choices that cannot be fully understood by the user of the computer.

    #3 type promises realization just as it was when you were first of all the computer, but this is because the user must run the 'back to the factory' procedure to recover a work computer. In a perverse way, the statements are true, but the method to get '' there '' makes nothing better than scams.

    Microsoft is aware that the register used by Windows 2000 and all derivatives since actually ignore the orphan entries, and the maximum size of the registry is well above what any user could get it.

    If Windows 2000 > registry Gets a big enough mistake, you never get the chance to use a registry cleaner because Windows does not start in any case. Manual registry and reconstruction removal, it is not always successful of success and the amount of commands must be typed exactly, or there is a risk of worse... not that it can do a lot worse than a computer that does not start in the mode of... (-:

    Microsoft also knows what a registry cleaner used on Windows 2000 > can improve performance when used as the only tool.

    To this day, I don't understand why Microsoft never included a registry cleaner in the OnerCare package. All it does is keep the living myth that registry cleaners have value, opening the door to every registry scam cleaner...

    It is best to avoid contact with the registry cleaners.

    Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
    use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
    problems. If they have 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.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
    the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
    benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
    good deal.

  • Error Windows with Memory.dmp after registry cleaner

    Hello

    Often, I run my registry (Eusing) cleaner to help my computer work better. But recently, he finds more errors than usual and after cleaning the registry, I lost the use of my touchpad (because I use a laptop), my computer ran more slowly (even if she becomes faster), and restart, shut down or even shut down my laptop, it will always do, then come (when it comes) telling me an error that forced the phone to restart. The error concerns the files

    C:\windows\minidump\061114-26972-01.dmp

    C:\Users\*username*\appdata\local\temp\wer-76471-0.SysData.XML

    C:\windows\memory.dmp

    After restarting my computer in safe mode, the errors have not persisted, but restarting leads to a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION.

    Please let me know which files you need to see, and how I can download them.

    Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the
    registration is not necessary and is dangerous. Let alone register and
    do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
    What software record cleaning suppliers are trying to convince you,
    have unused registry entries is not really make you hurt.

    The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
    delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
    It can have.

  • on the home page, the symbol of firefox has disappeared and there is an ad for registry cleaner?

    Yesterday, my homepage has changed - there is no normal firefox symbol with the little Fox hug th Earth. Just four color wheel, next to him "search results" then the field empty to enter in a search. Below that is an ad for a registry cleaner. It presents the new homepage of firefox?

    Hello, this looks like a problem maybe caused by adware on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

    Remove a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the homepage search
    Fix Firefox problems caused by malicious software

    afterwards please install the reset search addon - he'll come back more often customizations make these adware programs in default firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
