Well CCleaner is good but I used a registry cleaner and I still cant fix all the problems it created after it removed infomation that can never be retrived.
So try and stay well clear or if not get ERUNT and back-up your registry before scanning.
Remeber that editing your registry is very dangerous and if you do something wrong then you might ruin your whole computer and this applies to registry cleaners aswell as you wont know what all the things its removing are.
However if you are getting messages saying your registry needs to be fixed then its spyware that trys to con you into paying for software that dosent actually work it just removes the fake "registry problems" that you didnt have in the first place.

You don't have any registry problems. What you do have is loads of spyware which is telling you that you've got registry problems in the hope that you're gullible enough to give them money for their sh1t software (which will just give you more problems). It's a well known scam and I'd advise you not to become the latest victim of it.
What you need to do is clean out the spyware that's giving you all these bogus warnings. Install and run AdAware, Spybot S&D and Windows Defender and they should clear you out. And STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER! It's laughable attempt at security is the reason you've got infected with all this nonsense in the first place.

Search and download Registry Mechanic. It has a 15 day trial period but is fully functional until then. It is a good registry cleaner.

they are use less, they let download them free. They scan, but you need to pay for them to clear up the problem. If I were you mate just leave it and back-up your data and re- boot the computer form start. This will definitely do the trick!
