On the Windows Live OneCare Site. Part of their Safety Scanner...

They explain all about the registry and why you should clean it up.

Have a read.

Mr Slap,

Please stop feeding the troll. Peter Foldes is a convicted pimp using
his sister, his wife, his mother and his in-laws in his Escort Agency
(polite way of saying in his prostitution business). He's been outed in
most States under Megan's Law but for some reasons he is still alive
continuing to abuse young boys and girls.

reliable and registry cleaner is an oxymoron. Stay FAR away from them!
You don't need one!

I wish you both lucky when one day it hoses your registry and you can't
boot up and you can't figure out why. Don't blame Windows when it does!

One Care has been pulled and is no more
