can my web root program clean my registry

Hi ranger1993
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
Registry cleaning is a topic that generates a fierce debate as to the benefits/dangers and whether one should/should not...more on that in a minute.
 
To answer your question directly the answer if you are running the Antiviruse version of WSA (which I assume you are as you are posting in this forum) is 'No'. If yo were running the Complete version then you could use the System Optimizer feature of that version which does some limited Registry cleaning as part of the optimisation process.
 
To clean your Registry yo will need to avail yourself of a specific app; either a paid for or freeware one (a popular one with members is CCleaner...which appeares to be safe to use...at least it has caused me no issue...yet).
 
And that brings me onto the points initially mentioned, and leads me to ask the question...how do you knwo that the issue is Registry-related and cleaning the Registry will resolve the problem?
 
There are different schools of thought about this and if you scan the Internet you will find vehement discussion both for an against.  I personally steer towards 'mild' cleansing from time to time being no bad thing but you need to be wary of cleaners that say they find 100's or even 1000's of issues when you first scan...in my book those are the ones you need to be wary of/avoid...as if you had 1000's or even 100's of Registry issues most likely you would not be able to run WIndows.
 
So before you go down a route of using a Registry cleaner try to make certain that it is the right course of action and will resolve your issue(s), then if you do (i) make sure that before you run whatever Cleaner you decide to run you image your system or (ii) at the very, very least you create a System Restore Point...just in case the cleaner causes you further, more serious issues.
 
Please feel free to ask further questions but I hope that the above helps?
