Registry Cleaners For Pros & Experienced...

[stash]

MAYBE if people like stash would OPEN their eyes and READ there wouldn't be PAGES of posting, sheesh...

Please show me where in the thread you stated you were using a registry "cleaner" for malware removal. Otherwise, kindly STFU.

So what are we saying, everytime someone gets a bit of spy/malware on the box and it's only going to take an hour or two to clean it up we should always reformat the box and reinstall, give me a break.

Most "pros" can zap a fresh image and transfer a profile faster than dicking around with a registry cleaner and possibly screwing things up worse and/or leaving a compromised machine on their network.

I'm not talking about Acronis, or Ghost imaging back a box, sure that's a nice fast way in an environment that it's conducive.

I work with Home users, so that's not practical, unless you work personally one on one with some customers and you want to set them up this way, then you'll need to keep updating images when customers make changes, and for me this is not a practical approach for the general home user, that calls a pc shop and needs work done, etc...

P.S. Is there some sort of problem trying to stick to the topic?
