Pros: Read cons please !
Cons: I am testing a lot of programs and runing instalation setups on my system is a common task ... so the nightmare comes up sonner or later :( I have tried almost any important registry cleaner program on the market and I can tell you the only solution is a fresh instaled operating system or using a program like Norton Gost and make from time to time a backup of your entire operating system !
Another reason for my low rate is the fact every registry cleaner on the market (including this of course) ruined my OS sooner or later.
So if you belive in fairy tales you should continue to use registry cleaners. But I think it is better to read some of the Murphy Laws and stop spending money to clean your computer when the only way to do this is to use a duster and some washing sope ...

If you really feel the need for 1 use "Registry Mechanic" 5.2! At least You can create a restore point prior to cleaning............................It's the only one that never screwed up my O.S.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About three years ago I installed a trial of "jv16 PowerTools" (jv16.org). Purchased it the next day and haven't looked back. It's more than a cleaner, but it's worth the price for the cleaner alone. Milti "user" license; READ THE LICENSE/INSTALL/REGISTRATION instructions and follow them. Following an image back up it's the first tool "out of the box" when cleaning up a PC. NEVER had a problem from using it and it's an aggressive cleaner. Back up prior to removal offered during cleaning.
