This scans and then asks me to register and sells the product....itt isnt expensive but is this what you would  expect...after the scan it claimsquite a few errors found..not sure if this is correct or to get me to buy  :dunno:

It's a numpty scam. It is far more likely to put something nasty on your system than anything else. Get rid of it asap.

My general rule is don't play with registry cleaners, most of them do more harm than good.

It is indeed, David, and does everything I've ever needed on the odd occasion I've had to clean up the registry.  :)
