Hardly. I have had them correct strange bugs and they can turn a sluggish PC back into its old self. Strangest bug I had was stuff jumping out of the recycle bin as soon as the mouse was released. Could not throw anything away until the registery cleaner fixed it. >What do you use? The one I use doesn't get the best ratings so I won't mention it. It does the job so I see no need to buy one that is better rated. A few months ago someone posted a link to an extensive review article. Anyone have it handy? Some of the reviews I've seen are written by people who don't understand the PC enough to know what they are reviewing. Hence some very poor reviews. Reg cleaners need to be run multiple times until no problems are found. Some reviewers did not understand this. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
