Next time make a registry back up before using them.
LOL, registry back-up, think your so smart?
Impossible to make one, only a system image. Which I made a tutorial on myself, is the way to restore it. And they do suck. 120% Sure, when you get a nice, sexy computer crash, tell me.

You Got It! Reality, your username supports your idea on this one.

The registry is just too large to find broken keys manually.
If you ask me, or probably anybody, these are as far as TRUSTED goes:
Advanced SystemCare Pro 3.7.2
TuneUp Utilities 2010
Auslogics SpeedBooster
CCleaner

A system restore point is exactly what I meant and you obviously knew that.
Quit being an butthead about it.

I am inclined to agree. Registry cleaners are largely a waste of time IMHO.
Sure the registry does get corrupted from time to time and my honest answer to this is reinstall regularly.
It allows for a quick running system without the bother of a stuffed registry. Again this is just my opinion.

Yeah, i knew and now some body is with me.
I used to use ccleaner. It used to fudge my PC.
I had to format my PC every 10 days cause of that crap.
And never use file fixers. Will fudge up your PC.

Actually the file fixer is perfectly OK, the registry fixer is jank.

Registry cleaners are not a bad thing, CCleaner is good. And you can trust it because you should always remember to make a backup of the registry right?  Programs that get uninstalled leave behind unused registry values and keys that the registry cleaner gets rid of. It's not a bad idea to use them.
That is actually the reason why your computer seems to slow down after a year or so. All of the useless junk in your registry that uninstalling a program doesn't always take care of. An example of this is Norton. You need to download a Norton uninstaller just to get rid of MOST of the registry keys it leaves behind.
