These days there are several types of registry cleaners available. Registry cleaners are software that fixes errors in your registry. These errors in registry arise due to frequently adding and deleting files, failed or incomplete installation and uninstallation, invalid entries, spywares and adwares and several other causes. It is very essential to clean up your registry every now and then. For keeping your registry in good working condition you must download and install a reliable registry cleaner.

I say "reliable" because there are plenty of unreliable ones out there too. Most of us are in the habit of downloading free softwares from the Internet. Not that it's a bad thing to do. But one must be very careful about what software to download and where to download it from. Especially with registry cleaner softwares, you must be very careful.

If your registry cleaner software is outdated or is not compatible with the operating system that you are using for your computer then instead of repairing your registry your registry repair software might damage your registry database. It could also lead to unexpected system ...
... failure or system crash. This generally happens with the freeware cleaners. If you are going for a freeware cleaner make sure that the software is supported by some commercial enterprise that is developing it.

If you are using a freeware registry cleaner then you might prefer doing a manual backup. This might reduce the risk to a large extend. The best thing to do is to create restore points in your operating system especially if you are using windows so that you can restore your system back if any problem occurs. You can even make use of regedit export function which would help you to safeguard your registry.

If you have bought a registry cleaner software or if the software is commercial then you can be assured that your repair software will have auto backup system. If anything goes wrong you can easily restore the system. It is false rumor that registry cleaners do more harm than good. If you go for an authentic registry cleaner software it will not cause your system any harm.
