I couldn't agree more.
I remember quite a while back (around 12 years ago) applying the registry cleaner via System Mechanic (optimizing tool), and It corrupted It to the point of where I had to perform a clean Installation of Windows. A System Restore did nothing. A few other tools also corrupted It. Since then, I don't touch the registry with any tool.
@Bish0pQ, thanks for the heads up.
