Is there any app(s) that will clean the registry of the following

SurfaceUnits · Feb 5, 2014

Had a customer with all this on her Windows 7 PC

TotalRecipe, PCCleaner, TopArcades, BringMeSports, CrashReport, AdvancedDiskRecovery, AdvancedDiskCleaner, AdvancedSystemProtector, RegCleanPro, AllMyApps, ShopAtHome, Systweak, SysTweakDock, TotalRecipeSearch

Ran MalwareBytes quick scan and it reported 254 items. RogueKiller found and cleaned a few, Stinger found a couple, and I was able to uninstall some of programs. After a bit of clean up and (ASC reported 863 items in the registry) MalwareBytes reported 57 items remaining. When I could no longer uninstall anything else, I let MWB do its thing, but I still had to go thru the registry and clean stuff. The TotalRecipe crap had at least 75 registry entries. Is there anything that would have done more registry cleaning?

Thanks

Hi there.

Just for clarification, can you explain whether you need actual malware removal assistance or not? If not I'll move this to the software forum.

Hi

Think once the anti-malware software you have used hs cleaner any malware references out then possibly the best non invasive registry cleaner is CCLeaner and run it a few times to remove any old references out of the registry.

But in the end sadly the registry cleaners promise the earth and deliver nothing as they are not a be all and end all. the best cleaner is experience and manually removing rogue registry references BUT this can be time consuming, the reason I say manually as automated registry cleaners and it depends on which ones, can cause more harm then they repair as some delve into the registry HIVES they should not be going near, so CCleaner is not a deep cleaner but does not clean the areas in which can cause issues.
