Sadly I'm not an advocate of registry cleaners, personally I think they
cause more problems than they actually cure. So my clear advice is - don't
use one.
As for your Bank details, as DDW has said in his post, below, try looking at
the cookie options in CCleaner and the tell CCleaner which cookies it needs
to keep. Once your Bank's cookie is on CCleaner's 'cookies to keep' list the
cookie will not be deleted.
