    If you have any doubts - don't use it.

    I would not recommend any single third party tool for complete maintenance of your system.  Practically everything you need to take care of your operating system is built-into the operating system already.  It may take some 'learning' in order to properly utilize the tools - but it is well worth it as you keep the variables low as well as the performance high.

    Hi,

    Shenan Stanley and Palcouk have given some very good advice.

    Programs such as Registry Cleaners and System Optimizer that are overly-hyped and claim to be able

    to fix a lot of issues should be thought of as snake-oil as they will fix nothing and most often cause issues.

    See these links.
