{up on my soapbox}
Any good IT professional knows how to use a registry cleaner. One does not just blindly let the
program make changes without reviewing them. I have found that there are items in the registry
that do affect performance and stability that are leftovers or remnants from either legitimate
programs or rogue items that simply cannot be removed manually without a significant amount
of effort and intelligence. The registry cleaners do the detective work locating them and
then the human should review the reported 'problems'.
