When you make a choice to use a registry cleaner, there are some important questions you should ask yourself:
- Are you getting this from a reliable source?
- Is it a reputable program that will help me anyway?
- Why I need to use a Registry cleaner?
You can usually answer these questions by doing a little research on it. Microsoft directly says nothing about registry cleaners and Windows 7. Probably, as was officially said for Windows Vista, no Registry cleaner is needed to clean the Registry of Windows 7.
Even if you have decided to install and run a registry cleaner:
If the person actually weigh the advantages and disadvantages of any particular product, you are more than likely looking at an overall review, but at the same time if all you will find many simple “Hey this product is great! Buy now! “brief statements, then you may want to continue to look elsewhere for more information.
The reason for obtaining a copy of a cleaner registry from a trustworthy source because if you the get from certain sites there are chances to get infected from a virus or another program may come with what could harm your computer even more. In addition, bad quality product will also present a high risk of doing considerable damage to your machine by deleting the important registry key information that would otherwise be necessary to run Windows 7 smoothly. For this reason, be sure to select only those cleaners registry you know, otherwise you will run a high risk of being corrupted your machine even further in an attempt to improve its performance and your information potentially be permanently lost.

Do not do it, unless you have a plan to format your Windows 7 PC.
We must mention, there are certain places in the Internet, where you will found a pop up is saying that your registry is corrupted and you must run (=buy) their registry cleaner (read crapware). These are potentially dangerous.
Some morally inclined webmasters directly promote them by inserting certain Javascripts in their websites.
Sometimes good online advertising companies promotes them (not pop up advertisements; simple click to see Advertisements); not knowing they are bad. Obviously they decline to advertise once they get any bad report against; but in the meantime, user may be a sufferer.
Conclusion:
Best way to clean your Windows 7 PC’s registry is to clean install or format it. To us asking “Will I buy registry cleaner?” is like “Will I buy the bottle of snake oil?”.
