Hi! Welcome to MT!
Here are the thoughts of 98% of our members. If you think you just have to clean the register, I recommend the one in CCleaner.
Although these utilities can make the Windows Registry clean, the overall potential benefits are greatly outweighed by the potential harm they could cause. We suggest users do not install or use Windows Registry cleaners on their Windows computers

Hi ganesan, it's good to see you 
again!
I agree with each of our member-friends whom have already given you, in my opinion, the very best & safest advice with how to approach registry cleaning. Whether you'll choose to clean (or not) CCleaner is truly a favorite software among many more than our very own brethren here on MT. In fact, before I found this thread I'd run both a system cleaning, & a wipe of all free space remnants (found under "Tools") for an external flash drive that I'd formatted (completely erased). I did not clean the registry, but have once or twice before, and only with CCleaner! All I shall add is recommending their portable version which can become a part of the practice of keeping one's computer's system lighter by keeping certain apps separate from your system. I do this mainly with browsers, but also with CCleaner!

Hi ! Windows has all kinds of tools to use to keep your computer running smooth. Learn how to use those and forget the snake oil programs that want your $$$$. Here are some that are a part of Windows and they are free!
chkdsk
sfc /scannow
defrag
memory diagnostics
Start up Repair
disk clean up
restore to a earlier time
W7&W8 create image back up.
Reliability Monitor
Resource Monitor
These are just a few and I know there are others, but right now these come to my mind. Maybe MT members can add to these.
Don't pay good money for those snake oil programs that you don't need and will cause you trouble also.
Well looks like MT is doing a up grade. Don't know if this will get posted????
Good night MT members! I will leave this post live on my PC and see if it will post tomorrow!
Hope I haven't been banned!!!!
