[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 940678, member: 31436"] It is unlikely to cause problems, but it certainly could. As a result I recommend not using it. It is highly unlikely that cleaning the registry will ever make your computer run faster, or fix any problems. So it's fine to use CCleaner only for cleaning junk files and skip cleaning the registry. If you really want to clean the registry, use a safe registry cleaner instead. It's only in recent years that is has had issues with false positives. Prior to that it could only potentially cause problems if The scan for Obsolete Software entries was checked. [/QUOTE]
