[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 865762, member: 31436"] Kerish Doctor is safe to use. I've been using it on and off since it was first released. It won't delete any needed files or registry keys. I've used on many different computers over the years and have only ever seen a single false positive from the registry cleaner. You can configure it to only be run manually, rather that running in the background. I've been using registry cleaners for years and have used pretty much every registry cleaner ever made. I've probably used registry cleaners thousands of times and have only seen a noticeable increase in performance twice. Once, I deleted ten thousand registry errors with multiple registry cleaners, on one of my computers, followed by a registry defrag and afterwards I noticed zero difference in performance. I had so many registry errors, as beforehand, I deleted a number of program folders, rather than uninstalling the programs. When working on customers computers, if the computer is running slower than it should and I can't find the cause, I will use a registry cleaner and never, not even a single time, has the computer run any better afterwards. So while a registry cleaner can make a computer run faster, I would say that more 99.9% of the time, it won't. It is also very rare, for a registry cleaner to fix any issues. So in general, I would say registry cleaners are unnecessary. More than 99% of registry cleaners, including CCleaner will at least sometimes have issues with false positives, causing them to delete valid registry keys. There are literally only a few registry cleaners that are safe to use. Even the majority of registry cleaners that are recommended as being safe to use, are unsafe, with CCleaner being a good example of this.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
