For CCleaner and Glary, I use the portable versions and generally do not install them on the customer’s machine as in untrained hands, they can be dangerous.ĭid the last couple of years computer science change from a calculated profession into a gut feeling ? Sometimes I also run Glary’s along with a registry compact. followed by CCleaner (with backup option), reboot and check for any errors (haven’t found any yet that were caused by CCleaner). Then a manual registry cleanup for leftover and obviously bogus entries. Uninstall any customer-installed reg cleaners, memory enhancers, speed boosters, etc. In general, as far as registry cleaning, here’s what I do: Remember, the entire registry gets loaded at Windows start up, including all the junk. After a year or two, you can imagine what their Program Files & Start Menu directories look like, to say nothing about the garbage that has accumulated in their registry. Sometimes they uninstall them, sometimes not. I have customers who will click on and install just about every PC “goodie” program they find.
A good registry scrub by a competent tech who knows what he/she is doing should be part of any system cleanup.
