I downloaded Malwarebytes and it prompted me to download Aro 2012. Aro 2012 scanned my brand new computer and said it had registry errors. How can this be and is this program reliable? I have a HP Pavillion g7 Windows 7

The only reliable thing about all those registry cleaners is not to use them, for the most part they do more harm then good and they always find something, even on fresh OS installs.

They scan your machine, find errors and then you have to pay for the program to clean up a mess that doesn't exist. They are a rip off.

If you must use one, CCleaner is probably the most benign and it's free.

The only time when I use CCleaner is helping people with their Blu-ray problems when the program won't install or run properly.

The free application in Malwarebytes is good for worming out malware and is not a bad application, but I wouldn't trust their registry cleaner.
