No! You should dump it immediately. Don't run it and don't let it do
anything.

Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the
registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and
don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
what vendors of registry cleaning software try to convince you of,
having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.

Read http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000643.html

and also

Let me point out that neither I nor anyone else who warns against the
use of registry cleaners has ever said that they always cause
problems. If they always caused problems, they would disappear from
the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
cleaner and never had a problem with it.

Rather, the problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
the substantial risk of having a problem. And since there is no
benefit to using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
bargain.

The opinion that all registry cleaners are ****-ware is highly popular among techie people today. But this is not true. I have personally had great use of several cleaners that have work very well. One of the best I have come upon is Registry First Aid. One time it removed several thousands(!!!) of useless keys from my registry with no problems following what so ever. And the computer after that ran quick as new. There are bad ones in this area, but that all of them is bad is deadly wrong. Others that have never let me down is, for example: TuneUp Utilities and the super fast Jetclean. It's not all or nothing here. You just have to pick the right ones. (I use Windows 7, 64-bit.)
