Tuning up utilities can corrupt a security product?

[ForgottenSeer 55474]

I use Ccleaner, and I never clean the registry.
Tune Up Utilities is snake oil(in my opinion)

That's pretty interesting. Any possible explanations beyond the realm of magic?

Well, even my fix failed to fix that, so it could not have been just cleaning the cache. I guess cleaning registry did the trick, it is not the first time Windows had a problem like that, there was an update for 10 once, which just cleaned the registry to get updates working, people who used reg cleaners, did not have the problem. CCleaner finds ~200 entries after clean install and I use deep cleaning in WiseCare. A wrong reg reference can break symlinks and other stuff.

I second the effectiveness of a regcleaner/reg defraggler
my old windows 7 desktop became really slow that disk cleaners and several reboots didn't help. I used reg defrag and it immediately fixed that problem

second time and third time with the exact same issue, registry defrag saved the day

I use CCleaner + CCEnhancer, DiskMax, Privazer and sometimes Wise Cleaner
Privazer seems to clean the least trash
sometimes, wise cleaner can clean several hundreds of MBs more after I use all other 3 cleaners

"Tune Up" programs are basically snake oil programs that do not improve PC performance.
I wouldn't use them. Orphaned registry entries have no impact on your system beyond taking a few extra bytes of storage space.

Spot on!
