Eusing Free Registry Cleaner is finally off the RogueRemover hit list

http://www.malwarebytes.org/rogueremover_database_history.php

I’ve been recommending Eusing for a while now but have sometimes been met with septicism because RogueRemover (and until several months ago Site Advisor) thought badly of it.

Still, it scans very deeply and backups should always be made before cleaning.

I still think that there are other, better, free, registry cleaners…

3

Any recommendations? I’m always open to suggestion.

If you are comfortable with what is in the registry and what it does, regseeker is fine, it is what I use. There is no help file, but the listing can be selected in a green or red basis for deletion, green should be safe to remove but caution is advised for any categorised red.

It does seem to list more entries than many other registry cleaner I have used.

I have also used Easy Cleaner (regseeker found more stuff), but it has many more functions many of which you probably wont use and that is another reason I got rid of it.

You could also try the last freeware version of JV16 from somewhere like filehippo, etc.

I thought that the current thinking on registry editors was that XP (and I would assume Vista) didn’t need one…

(I see that Microsoft doesn’t give me a copyable link to the “Windows Registry” link - click on that to see their comment.)

And numerous posts on the web from Microsoft MVPs confirming. Here’s just one:

I’m curious, are they really needed, or is this just “tinkering”?

I scrub m# re8istr# regularl# wiiiith no problemzzzz…$$#@…zzzz… ;D

My thoughts, if it weren’t required then why do these registry cleaners pick stuff up, because some programs don’t clean-up after themselves and neither is windows registry.

9

then a registry cleaner could also be called a garbage cleaner ;D
gets rid of all the trash ::slight_smile:

I’m still using the free TweakNow RegCleaner Standard. I gives results in 3 catagories … safe to delete, not fully safe to delete, and unknown. During the first use, it will offer to create a backup for “just in case” purposes. That way, you can always restore the backup if a problem arises. I have been using it for a couple of years without any problems.

I look a registry cleaners the same as third party firewalls. Some people think they’re unnecessary while others think they are a must have. I’m in the must have camp. And while I’ve never benchmarked a computer for pre-cleaning vs post-cleaning results, an occasional registry cleaning seems empirically to speed things up.

Eusing goes a lot deeper.

Yeah... I uninstall TweakNow RegCleaner Standard because it was only taking disk space...
16

Well, that’s ok. I ran the free TweakNow RegCleaner just before making my above post and it found 4 new “safe to delete” entries. I run it about once a month and it does what I need it to do. :slight_smile:

17

But that’s not really and answer :stuck_out_tongue:

What do you use?

I’m not in my work computer, I’ll try to remember to post here my ‘list’…
