No tweaking is needed really. I think the installer asks if you want to install the Google toolbar during installation - tick or un-tick the tick box and that's about it. Once installation is done, run C Cleaner and click on registry then scan for issues. A list of issues appears after scanning is completed. When you choose to fix the founded issues the program asks if you want to backup the registry before proceeding with the fixing process. I myself choose not to make a backup but this is something you do on your own risk. The process is quite intuitive so go ahead and check it out... give us a shout if you come across something you are not sure about.

I think I've heard people talk about backing up the registry, is that necessary, if so, how is it done?
