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 http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099
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.

My Lenovo PC started to become erratic during the morning boot and I was resorting to the included repair utilities just to start my day. After two months of this, I did a bunch of research and concluded that a registry-repair program might help.

More research led me to RegCure Pro after my first choice proved unworthy of the job. After running RCP once, the Lenovo booted perfectly, and by running it every evening at 6:30, I never had another such issue.

When the Lenovo died due to a physical cause, I replaced it with an HP 64-bit system, and RegCure Pro keeps it humming along with no known problem. I especially like how the program deletes cookies, so no there are NO tracking ads that appear when I browse.

My final answer to richray is "yes".

P.S. I am a heavy user and purchased my first desktop in 1984.

It wiped out my PC - got rid of shortcuts; bluetooth settings and software, other software that I needed for running citrix, etc etc

It looked too hard to try and decide what software to restore with its pathetic restore function.

Luckily I had a disc image only a few days old, so I saved the few new documents I had then went back to the old image. So that's $30+ down the tubes and a lesson learned
