Hi, all,

 

How many of you use "RegSeeker"?

 

I use it regularly after cleaning with ASC3 and Glary Registry Repair and it usually finds about 350 errors. I only delete (and backup) the green (safe) entries which usually total about six.

 

It would be interesting to do a scan with RegSeeker, then scan and remove the errors that quicksys find. If a new scan with RegSeeker showed a lower number of errors, then perhaps it would indicate RegSeeker as being too cautious?

Hi Ted

I prefer a very, very cautious regcleaner, after all it is a very important area it is dealing with.

And speed-wise it usually doesn't matter much if there is some redundant matter in the registry.

I'm with solbjerg. When it comes to the registry, I prefer a kinder and gentler cleaner. As long as it gets the bulk of the real problems I'm happy.

 

I actually tried RegSeeker once, but it kept killing two apps (don't remember which). I could never find the right keys to exclude.

Hi, solbjerg and JustDave,

 

I totally agree you, that's why I only backup and delete the green (safe) error keys. I've been using RegSeker for about five years with no problems.

 

Actually, what I use RegSeeker mainly for is to find and delete registry entries left behind after uninstalling a programme and there's usually heaps of them. I'm more comfortable with it than Revo Uninstaller.

reg seeker

 

Hi Ted-ever use the full auto clean on that?And that"clean the keys" feature?Just wondered how dangerous that might be.I too like it for finding leftovers

Hi detailer, Yes I did use the "auto clean" when version 1.55 first came out, but it deleted out a few keys it shouldn't have and I had to Restore its backup.

 

Actually, I just tick all boxes, then click "Clean the Registry". If you only delete the green errors you're pretty safe.

Hi Ted

Sounds reasonable to me.

I'll tell you a little story

My older brother has just build a new computer and installed Window XP and Office 2003 between christmas and the new year. He has had Win 98se on his old one since that operating System came out - and Office 97. It is only in the last year or so that he has felt that maybe he ought to upgrade. He has never had an antivirus program permanently installed and has only been infected 2-3 times in all that time - one of them he got from me - I had gotten it from my daugther. He used the leightweight program "stinger" fom Makeafee (free) when necessary, but he has kept his computer clean by being cautious.

Likewise he has cleaned out redundant strings from his registry when he has uninstalled programs, so he has run his computer for more than 10 years without any major problems.

So you see a lot can be done by hand and by being prudent. :-)

Cheers

Hi, solbjerg,

 

I believe that story because two of my grand-daughters in Tauranga spend hours on the family computer chatting with friends, playing games and downloading screeds of music for their Ipods. They do have an AV programme, but it's seldom updated and they have no cleaning tools whatsoever! They've owned this computer for about eight years and the only maintenance they do is to delete stuff to get more space on their HDD.

 

Soemtimes I think I'm too fanatical.
