Kappes Buur Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I have been using the free version for years and always have been happy with the result. Now, after a bad experience with Corel's PaintShop Photo Pro, I realize that I need a more thorough registry cleaner. I had uninstalled the program through Windows 7 and Corel's cleanup tool, etc. but countless orphans were left behind in the registry, as evidenced by going through the registry with regedit. Thus, I went on an internet search for the best rated registry cleaner and CCleaner Pro was given high accolades. So I started the 14 day trial version with the following result Why were no PSPP Pro orphans or empty keys found? Am I guaranteed that the paid for version of CCleaner Pro will really clean the registry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted December 11, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 11, 2014 From a cleaning point of view, the free & paid-for versions are identical. As to reg cleaner not finding any entries you thought it would, most likely reason would be CC reg cleaner is rated one of the best for the very reason it has a 'lightly, lightly' approach to what it deems can be cleaned from the registry. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators Andavari Posted December 12, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 12, 2014 The CCleaner registry cleaner is deemed "safer", meaning it isn't going to dig through every crevice of your registry like a more aggressive and thorough registry cleaner. Can it miss allot of invalids - yes it can and will, but at the same time it's being "safer" it's also much less likely to damage the registry.
