    Be wary of the results from a TRIAL product!!!

    ccleaner is trust worthy and backs up your reg.

    Whatever program that is might not be trust worthy and might mess up your reg

    Eusing Free Registry Cleaner has been working well for me, and it detects almost as many defects as the paid programs.

    CrapCleaner and RegCleaner are the two I use. That combo can even get rid of the crap iTunes leaves behind after you uninstall it.

    There was a cleaning day today, so I made a test of 3 different register cleaners:

    (1) CCleaner,
    (2) Eusing Free Registry Cleaner,
    (3) TweakNow RegCleaner Std

    I used all three to scan my regiesters.
    (3) Found only a very small portion of problems - 19, which were also found
    by (1) - 147 and (2) - >147. After cleaning them (3) was not able to find anything else. I rund two other scans again to see that the problems were really cleaned by (3). I cleaned also the problems found by (1) and run scans with (1) and (2) again. CCleaner found new 27 problems. I cleaned them too and run scans with (1) and (2). Ccleaner found nothing, Eusing still found a lot... I decided to leave it as it is for a while (to check my cleaned system first).

    Just draw the conclusions yourself. I am not an expert to share mine.

    Can you confuse me just a little bit more? LOL

    I compared CCleaner with Eusing Free Registry.

    Eusing seems to pick up on average, 5x more Reg to delete.

    As long as they both have Reg Backup, then I'm ok :)

    Yes, both do. :)

    I have been using Eusing for some time on another laptop, and I haven't noticed any problems I would trace back to it.
