Registry and Microsoft Safety Scanner

Quote from DataCruncher:

I was running MSFT's free online safety scanner, doing a full scan, and it mentioned that there are 25 issues in my registry that it could repair. I declined to have it repair them because I have heard horror stories about registry cleaners doing more harm than good.

But since this is a scanner directly from MSFT, should I run it again and go ahead and have it fix the registry issues?

check it out, see how many issues it finds on your machine(you have to choose the full scan, not quick scan, to inspect the registry):

It only runs using Internet Explorer

I have been using it for several years with no problems at all.
 
I used it and got rid of 300-odd errors.

I was also just had a run-in with a Win32Rootkit.TDSS virus that nothing but Ad-Aware could find - but couldn't delete - just kept coming back after a restart.

Combofix took care of that.
