You can't beat CCleaner IMO

Piriform CCleaner is very good as has been said.I've used it for nearly two years and it has got me out of a few problems plus kept the computer clean.
I recently came across another called "Advanced windows care".It worked well for me but you do have be careful with it and back things up.Have a look and see what you think.

Easy Cleaner is pretty good, it's interface is easy to understand and does more than just clean your registry, and gives you more control than CCleaner in my opinion ,although I use both application as Easy Cleaner will pick up things that CCcleaner doen't pick up and vice versa.
Been using both applications for about a year, and haven't encountered any problems and both application have "undo" capabilities just in case a necessary file was deleted by mistake.

Try Wise Registry Cleaner (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/wiseregistry.html) it gives you the option of fixing only those items that it considers "Safe To Fix". I haven't had to wipe my Laptop for just over 4 years now, apart from a couple of minor niggles it's still running quite smoothly. CCleaner is also good.

Not really a reg edit - more if someone you know buys a PC that is ladened down with trials and freebies

From their website

The PC Decrapifier will uninstall many of the common trialware and annoyances found on many of the PCs from big name OEMs.

Well every reg cleaner will find something that another cleaner won't, I can't speak for Regseeker, but I have tried 2 good highly rated cleaners, Easy cleaner and CCleaner ,one after the other and they always find things that the other application doesn't.
Give Easy Cleaner a try, it may even pick up things that Regcleaner fails to.

Tweak Now was the first reg cleaner I tried, at first I was impressed by its interface and smooth scanning, but that was before I downloaded two much more thorough programs :

EasyCleaner and CCleaner.

I still have TweakNow on my pc but it is laregely redundant as both the other 2 are superior programs.
My favourite would be to use EasyCleaner, it's just as light and easy to use as Tweak Now but is much better.

People are far to scared of Registry, if you spend the time to read a book on it you will find that you only have to use specific bits and it works wonders when sorting those troublesum viruses.
