I've been told by various non completely free registry cleaners that my windows registry needs cleaning but they all demand money before they'll sort out my problems. where can I find a completely free cleaner that won't claim to be free then ask for money to fix more than one font problem?

Sorry, I get frustrated by lying software

Thankyou for your help

there are a few websites where you can use a program to "post" your registry and a professional looks at it and tells you what to do to clean it up. Google it.

You're aware most of these "free" programs have hidden spyware/trojans?

BTW the guy that basically created the windows registry said it's pointless to do any sort of cleaning, as there is no real beneficial effects.

It's totally free and spyware/virus free.

I agree with Devlin, CCleaner does the trick. Just be careful during the installation as it installs the Yahoo! toolbar by default.
