I should have mentioned that I used it in conjunction with Uniblu's Speed Up My PC, and noticed a difference after each program ran, but the biggest difference was after the registry cleaner. I should also mention that I have no connection to the company in any way. I might as well also reveal that I first ran these programs with a pirated serial # to see if they actually worked, since before I tried them, I would have echoed the same sentiments as Fred, Tad, Toxic, Buffulo, Boris, and just about everyone who has responded here. Only after seeing the difference did I pay for them. Before using these programs, my PC was already optimized in everyway I knew how. No unneccessary start up programs, no unecessary services, temp files frequently deleted - both Windows and Internet, defragged as needed, scan disked on a regular basis, spyware trojan and virus scanned once a week(almost always with nothing found). I am not a novice and have practiced safe hex since I knew what it meant (many years now), and all I can say is that after running these two utilities, programs open faster, windows open quicker, menus pop up fatser, my Favorites come out so fast I have to move my mouse more carefully to not overshoot the shortcut I'm looking for. I did not expect this result, but was pleasantly surprised. I have used these program for 6 weeks now, and they have not effected my system in any way -- except to make it run more efficiently. Other than this, I'm not sure how to respond to all the nay sayers, except to say that I have been off the drugs for many years. Well, ok....I do have an affinity for an occasional red wine. Bob

Speeding up the PC >is not my reason for using it. CCleaner screwed my registry the very first time I ever tried it. Luckily, I believe in backing up my registry with Erunt before ever screwing with it. After another 'adventure' or two with registry cleaners, I gave up on them. Their dangerous. I use the registry optimizer here, http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ along with Erunt. The only work I do on my registry is to manually remove entries after I uninstall a program. Even this can get you into trouble if you aren't very careful. ALWAYS backup your registry with Erunt BEFORE modifying it in any way. (Don't even bring up that joke of a Windows program, Windows Restore Point.)
