bookie32 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hi folks!Does anyone know anything about Advanced Systemcare from these ?My experience of such programs is they do more harm than good, but I have a customer that swears by it....Would be nice with a little general feedback from those who have tested it and those who know what damage it does....bookie32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookie32 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi -X-Thanks for that....kindof what I thought....lol. I make it a rule to never recommend software that claim to fix the registry etc.The worst one of the pack is Uniblue. I am always fixing computers for customers that have bought that crap!!Thanks for your inputbookie32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John305 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi there is one program I use to clean the registry like if you remove a program it will leave all sorts of junk in there ie norton . JV16 reg cleaner I have used this for over 8 or 9 years you dont have to choose anything and it has never messed up a registry on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookie32 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi John305 I agree that when you remove a program there are always remnents left, but in general they don't cause any problems....PLEASE NOTE IN GENERAL THEY DON'T CAUSE PROBLEMS..... I thank you for your info, but as I said I can't recommend anything that messes with the registry.....bookie32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John305 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Hi yes I agree most people should stay away from the auto fix it tools. In just one case a customer was going from a nvidia card to a ati card once you remove the N drivers reboot and run jv16 reg cleaner it finds a lot of nvidia stuff still in there to make sure it does not interfere with the new ati install I remove them so yes there are cases when it is good. But for the general public no. For a pc guy thats in the business it comes in handy. All I think jv16 does is check for dead entries and you dont have to hunt for things to remove so its a little safer hehe and we all know to back up the registry before we play with it.
