It might be a great utility buy make sure you are making the decisions and not the tool. Its like guys running registry cleanup/fixers. They find hundreds of "issues" and we blindly click "fix all" then when we reboot the system doesn't work and we resort to the "Use last known good configuration" option of the safety screen (which backs out everything you just did).
Besides anti-virus and firewalls, registry cleaners are on my list of benevolent Trojan horses.
