I'd like your opinion of ccleaner and Revo uninstaller.
Spoke with someone the other day that said they thought Revo was dangerous because it got into the registry. That's one thing I liked about it.
Also any suggestions for programs that clean and uninstall.
I understand they each have their own functions.
What do you think about using the ccleaner registry area?

Registry cleaning is unnecessary or outright dangerous and largely a scam, it is the proper working references in the registry that slow a PC down the most, invalid references are largely skipped silently or simply don't have an impact.
I use ccleaner regularly.

Reggie cleaners are always dangerous…period.
Use with caution.
