Third-party utility to clean up Microsoft Windows Registry
A registry cleaner is a class of third-party utility software designed for the Microsoft Windows operating system, whose purpose is to remove redundant items from the Windows Registry.
Registry cleaners are not supported by Microsoft, but vendors of registry cleaners claim that they are useful to repair inconsistencies arising from manual changes to applications, especially COM-based programs.
The effectiveness of Registry cleaners is a controversial topic.[1] The issue is further clouded by the fact that malware and scareware are often associated with utilities of this type.[2]
