Dear Fred (all),

First of all, you got a nice story about restoring a personal computer. However, i recommend to be careful with the program ccleaner. Although it works great, it is still dangerous (not quite the right word for it).

A few weeks ago, I used ccleaner on my windows 7 Ultimate computer to clean the registry. After a reboot (next morning) my computer was telling me that windows was not legal. To repair this problem i had to reinstall windows (normally ccleaner works great so I had some confidence in the program) because i had not used the backup option ccleaner provides.

So, I recommend to use the backup function ccleaner provides, it save a lot of trouble. Or check the list ccleaner provides after a scan of the registery. Check out if there are some system values you don’t want to be removed (normally these are obselete keys because uninstalled software didn’t remove them).

This is the ending of my warning and i will watch out for the next issue of your (windows secret) newsletter.

Kind Regards,

The Ancient One
