CCleaner's only real strength, and the only reason anyone should
use it, lies in its usefulness for cleaning up unused temporary files
from the hard drive; in this regard, it works well with Vista and is
completely harmless.

As a registry "cleaner," it's not significantly better or worse
than any other snake oil product of the same type. CCleaner's registry
scanner seems relatively benign, as long as you step through each
detected "issue" one at a time, to determine if it really is an "issue"
or not, and then decide whether or not to let the application "fix" it.
In my testing, though, most (95% or so) of the reported "issues"
aren't issues, at all. I tried the latest version on a brand-new OS
installation with no additional applications installed, and certainly
none installed and then uninstalled, and CCleaner still managed to
"find" over a hundred allegedly orphaned registry entries and dozens of
purportedly "suspicious" files, making it clearly a worthless product,
in this regard. (Not that any registry cleaner can ever be anything but
worthless, as they don't serve any useful purpose, to start with.)

Stay away from uniblue registrybooster 2!!! I got the not so bright idea to
purchase booster2 and tweaker. After running the scan it found 505 problems,
so i ran the cleanup. BIG mistake! After that, my computer got really stupid.
Evidently it screwed up my drivers. I could not connect to the net for
support. had to look really hard for uniblue support # that ended up being in
Malta that no one would answer! It also screwed up my wireless broadband
connection. so i called verizon support they had me uninstall VZAM ant try to
reinstall using my disc. Good luck with that! The drivers to my cd-rom
drivers are screwed and my drives dont work! Good luck trying to restore
anything using discs. After that i tried using Uniblue to restore what it was
supposed to have removed. Good luck with that too!! Tried to do a system
restore to a restore point before Uniblue. Tried eight different dates back
to Oct. 1, Good luck with that too!! Finally with the help of a tech. from
toast.net I was able to fix my ip problem and connect using dial-up. Then
download VZAM (2.5 Hours) so that i could find a fix for my problems. It has
been three days of wasted time to get this far and I still have problems! MS
Support here I come! What's another $60.00 anyway? P.S I bought a new cd-rom
drive and installed it and the drivers on it wouldn't allow it to run
either!! This was on a XP machine

Just the name...Registry Booster...lol.
I guess if you remove all the words from a Word document...it will open
faster.
My next project .... Word Booster!
LOL.

Sorry you got scammed.

A clean install would be my next move.
