    CC Cleaner works well and is free. Go to Filehippo.com AVG is a good virus fighter, also free. Good Luck,

    I use CCleaner, too... free, and does a great job cleaning out the detritus.

    Linux does not have a registry. Just text files you can edit.

    So the answer to best registry cleaner?

    Install Linux.
    Sorry, couldn't resist.
