AVG PC Analyzer vs others, can it be trusted?
i have avg installed on a system along with ccleaner, cleanmypc, wise registry cleaner and comodo system utilities. (for testing purposes)

the result from registry scanner on each app are:
-pc analyzer = 1,099
-wise registry cleaner = 21
-ccleaner = 75
-comodo system cleaner = 220 (in-depth)
-cleanmypc = 81

now my question is avg pc analyzer have found a significantly higher number of entries but can it really be trusted? wont it just make the system unbootable? are these really unnecessary entries?

are there any reviews of the pc analyzer?
any comments are welcome.

I cannot comment for AVG PC Analyzer, CCleaner is likely to be the safe one thus not gave aggressive results as registry cleaners.

Handling with registry cleaners needs a precautionary measures on it.

Actually AVG PC Analyzer (Full version = AVG PC TuneUp) is a duplicate of Auslogics BoostSpeed, it has the same features except the name. Tongue
Using a Registry Cleaner is dangerous, but it's up to you if you want to try it. Just create a backup of your files (if any) and create a restore point. I never had a problem with Auslogics BoostSpeed.

We can say that AVG PC Analyzer is an ad for AVG PC TuneUp.

The results found are fake they try to get you to buy AVG PC TuneUp, kind of like a scam.

Stick to CCleaner, it is safe to use and doesn't delete things that will cause system problems.
