YES, Registry Mechanic is SAFE to use. Don't listen to the first answer, that person is obviously confusing Registry Mechanic with some other program. I've been using it and all the different versions of it since version 6...and now using 10 on Windows 7 x64. Never had any problems so far and there are no ads or pop ups lol.
