Enlighten us, please. Were you conned or something? I've used his
port testing site for year and years. (grc.com)


It's funny, this guy (OP) writes 3 ridiculous pages and you
respond to my post.


I missed the original posting I presume. *Or the Internet burped.
Not sure but I did miss the pages you speak about.


*If someone "wants" a registry cleaner the 2 I mentioned
Have .1% chance of causing a problem with the default settings.
As for stopping "Services" I will agree with you, of course.


Build it they will come.


Gibson designs his software in a more benign way than the people who
designed the malware that wants you to purchase their software after
they have infected your PC with it.
After using CCleaner for many years now...and having it "fix" the
registry. It has not messed up mine nor any other PCs I have worked
on.


=I don't "push" any registry cleaner but I have used these so-called
cleaners for nearly thirty years. The only one I had problems with was
the old cleaner that Microsoft provided way back in Windows 98 days.
They didn't recommend it but made it available for those who wanted to
experiment. I re-installed Win 98 a number of times after screw-ups
but that was no big deal. CCleaner is fairly innocuous but the
registry cleaner part should be used with discretion...I'm pretty
careful about deleting what it wants to delete.

Believe that was called RegClean.exe
