Answer 1

There are 2 groups of registry cleaners. The first group is safe and not aggressive while the other is aggressive and thorough. Each has its pros and cons. The safe group plays it safe and only scans for obvious invalid registry keys. The aggressive groups is thorough and scans for all bad key. The safe group avoids accidentally deleting vital keys which can cripple your computer. However, it also misses some keys which should be deleted. The aggressive group is thorough and scan for all possible invalid keys and does a better job of cleaning but there is an increase risk of accidentally erasing valid keys. If you are not comfortable with Windows Registry, you are better off with the first group. Here is the break down.

Safe and not aggressive
1. CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/
2. Easy Cleaner http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/ecleane.htm

Aggressive but thorough
1. Regseeker http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm
2. Eusing Registry Cleaner http://www.eusing.com/free_registry_cleaner/registry_cleaner.htm


There are other free programs. You should take a look at Information Week's review of several commercial and free registry cleaners. Here is the link to the article.

Answer 2

A registry helper isn't a good program to download to your computer. It's not the download that's the problem, it's the program itself. Fixing registry problems is an enormous task because everyone's registry is different. What may be a good registry entry in one computer may be a bad one in another machine. If you think about it, with the registry being the heart of the computer, if you find 1000 bad entry registry files (which is common when you run a registry scan), don't you think that those bad files would shut down your computer? You are talking about files that are used to run your computer. Even as little as 20 viruses can shut down your computer. Anyway, Microsoft would has deveveloped a registry cleaner if they felt it was necessary for your average computer user. They didn't. Most bad registry entries aren't harmful and they don't take up much space.
