Registry Cleaners--Good Or No Good?

Registry Cleaner
When working on your computer do you continually run into  freezes, hardware malfunctions, slow windows start ups, computer error messages, system32 error messages, indications of a possible system crash and other related problems it has been showing? If this is happening, then maybe it''s time for you to consider a registry cleaner. Why? Well, it''s because everything that you are experiencing has nothing to do with anything else but with your registry alone.

There are probably some errors and corrupt files in your Windows registry that compromise the integrity and performance of your computer.  Failure to fix these errors and corrupt files can give unlikely and un predictable results.

Which Registry Cleaner Should I Get?



There are many registry cleaners available today.  Basically they are the same. In my opinion, there is no one cleaner that stands head and shoulders above the rest.
 
We have a brief review of the purportedly top three registry cleaners on the market. This may help you in deciding which registry cleaner to get.

#1: RegDefense

All the registry cleaners have the potential to clean your registry but only a few can do the work completely and efficiently.

RegDefense is the #1 registry cleaner as it is very capable of cleaning your registry files completely and efficiently without causing any log. It can repair DLL''s and general system slowdowns. And after all the clean ups and repairs, RegDefense can make your computer run more efficiently,and possibly make it free from any errors, hang-ups and threats of crashes. With RegDefense, your computer will function at its highest level.

RegDefense'' main features and benefits include error reporting, deep scan, scan log, backup/restore, start up manager, registry optimize, registry compactor, registry defrag, and 64 bit compatible. Not all of the registry cleaners have all of these features, but most do.

#2: RegFix

RegFix is one of the popular registry cleaners of today. It can do all the basic cleaning and repairing of registry errors. It can also manage start-up programs, manage browser helper objects, backup windows registry for full protection and add or remove programs. However, it appears to take a bit longer to scan (Its scanning time is twice the time of other registry cleaners.)  Some of its registry repair utilities are a bit over-zealous in terms of reporting of errors. It also can impose higher risk of getting rid of significant files. This is fairly common of all registry cleaners.  In my experience, any time you run ANY registry cleaner, you will get 50 to 75 errors.  I once got over 2000 errors during a registry scan.  My computer was still functioning.

#3: RegEasy

RegEasy like any other registry cleaners will scan your PC, safely clean the errors and invalid entries that cause system slow, freezing and crashing, and repair registry problems to improve system''s performance.

However, during scan, some logs can be experienced by the user. Also, registry defrag is not possible with RegEasy. Not to mention that it doesn''t extend 64 bit compatibility feature as well, so its use can be limited.

Conclusion


My advice would be to pick one and stay with it.   Don't fall for the "splash page hype" you will see when you Google an error you have encountered.  You will receive paid ads offering a registry cleaner that does everything but make bread.  I bought several different packages before it dawned on me they were unneeded.  The registry can get corrupt data because of incomplete installs, incomplete deletions.  It just takes a little TLC to keep your PC purring, not all the junkwear that tells you the world is about to fall down around your ears.
