You should of course if using the registry cleaner in Ccleaner always save the backup, personally I wouldn't bother with cleaning the registry, having checked out a few cleaners without actually deleting anything, they all seem to have different ideas on what to delete, Ccleaner appears to only scratch the surface compared to some of them however it could still cause problems. IMO If you don't know what you are doing which requires some knowledge of what these registry entries that are being deleted do, then avoid registry cleaners.

 

Last time I used Cc it found 7 obsolete entries in Registry and all of them were about something temporary on internet. Because of some improperly uninstalled drivers, I'm sure that there were many bad entries. I just chased them down and deleted them manually. Cc didn't do squat about them.

 

To the best of my memory, most paid for programs there is a expiration date.
This is not new. It's been that way for a long time.

It's kind of like leasing a car. You can't keep it after the lease time expires unless you renew the lease at a price.

A long time ago I bought Malwarebytes Life Time. That can no longer be done.
Today when one buys Malwarebytes it comes with a expiration date.
How do I know this? Easy, I read the users agreement.
