Why do the free registry cleaners differ in the number of errors they find?
March 3rd, 2010 | by admin |registry mechanic 365 errors
Registry Cleaner 170 errors
I could go on, one even told me I had 1007 errors.
Because there’s a trade-off between registry cleaners being safer and missing some things, or being more thorough and overzealous.
In my opinion, CCleaner is mild and safe, the registry cleaner in Advanced System Optimizer is more thorough but still pretty safe, and one called RegSeeker is more on the overzealous side.
Here’s a site reviewing registry cleaners:

Which one came up with 1007 errors?

It depends upon how good the Registry Cleaner is programmed.
Windows Registry is not the easiest and simplest mechanism to deal with. Software can create number of keys all over the registry database, and more then often these keys do not directly refer to the software it belongs to… Hence some cleaners might find an error and some might not.

This is due to their different configurations
