Most techies will tell you the PC "cleaners", "Registry cleaner/repair", etc are a waste of time and $$.  I do not recommend them to the clients I support.

I recommend avoiding it at all costs. If you want to use such a program, the free program CCleaner is a far safer bet:

Select download from Piriform (directly) for best results. See also the reviews on CNET:

Also read the comments on this thread about PC Cleaner Pro:

Again I recommend avoiding at all costs.

No it's ransomeware  /  Scareware / Malware at best.

After uninstalling it they leave behind and it launches your browser to their Beg ware page offering you a special offer if you keep their program.

One would have to ask "what & where is it suppose to clean"...Microsoft never offered

such an item...Either way,being a "certified partner" isn't saying much at all, Microsoft

has many levels of certifications. Being a certified partner is at the bottom of the list..

Seems that also do not fix anything if they caused other problems.

Many of their 1000's of issues are cookies.
