Upon installation RegClean Pro performs a first scan to evaluate the current status of your computer. This analysis includes areas related to system, user, ActiveX, startup elements and uninstallation leftovers, among others. The report displayed after the scan displays not only the amount of errors found, but also the level of damage. A link to Error Details opens up a new window with more technical data, perfect for advanced users.

Besides the main Registry scan functionality, RegClean Pro also includes other interesting features, such as Registry Defrag and Registry Backup. Both of them are available in the demo version.

Though the actual effect of Registry cleaners on the system is sometimes hard to notice – especially if you don’t test them for extended periods of time - RegClean Pro is one of the neatest, easiest to use apps of this kind we’ve tried. And most importantly: it lets you try all of the program’s functions before buying the complete version.

RegClean Pro helps you maintain your Windows Registry in perfect shape!

RegCleaner is a small program that displays the data that holds your Operating System together. It does so using the raw values and as such, some of the entries may seem mystical to anyone that doesn’t have much experience of the Windows registry. For users who do know their way around, however, they will find this utility to be efficient and useful for weeding out any lingering entries such as unused file types, “dead” uninstall information, or unwanted startup services.

There is an automatic scan but it seems to be geared towards manual removal of entries. Good for quickly removing multiple keys, the lack of a confirmation dialog could lead to disaster, but as you work through various lists, everything you affect is backed-up, should you accidentally get trigger-happy.

We like the no-nonsense interface of RegCleaner, which suits users who have clear objectives in mind before opening the program. Conversely, if you aren’t confident around the registry, don’t expect any spoon-feeding from here. For that, you may want to look to alternatives such as Registry Repair or Registry Booster.

Overall, RegCleaner is a handy tool for all those that are plagued by registry problems and slow downs.

Normally I use CCleaner for my registry cleaning requirements but AML Free Registry Cleaner offers a level of registry cleaning and penetration much deeper than that. AML Free Registry Cleaner is particularly good at identifying and correcting multiple entries in your Windows Registry but of course, not all entries should be removed. This is why the program comes equipped with an editable filter which can help you select which kind of entries should be considered as dangerous. However, be very careful when configuring this because if you get it wrong, and tell it to ignore dangerous entries, AML Free Registry Cleaner may miss those entries that pose a danger to your system.

The AML Free Registry Cleaner scanning process is simple enough and if you have any uncertainties, the wizard will take you through most of the process. Like most good cleaners, AML Free Registry Cleaner also makes a backup before making any drastic changes so that if the worst does happen, you can always roll back although if you do break your OS badly, this could prove difficult. Probably the most useful feature in AML Free Registry Cleaner however, which I've never seen before in a registry cleaner, is that it allows you to see in real time which registry entries relate to which programs. This makes it easier to identify those processes that may be malicious and those that are not.

If you're looking for a simple, efficient little registry cleaner, you could do a lot worse than AML Free Registry Cleaner.

Luckily there's a tool to improve this situation and restore the system's speed and performance, and it's called PC Tools Registry Mechanic. Despite its name, this program does much more than just cleaning, defragmenting and fixing the Windows Registry. It also tunes up services, optimizes the system, monitors current performance and manages other core elements.

PC Tools Registry Mechanic features a nicely designed, colorful interface where you can access all the program's tools, conveniently divided into three main categories: Optimize, Monitor and Windows tools – as well as Help Center and Options. All tools are pretty self-explanatory, but in case you're not sure about how to use any of them, you can access the program's detailed documentation.

On the downside, I was a bit disappointed when I realize you can't fix all of your Registry issues in the trial version, and also when I saw that most Windows tools in PC Tools Registry Mechanic were actually built-in system tools.

PC Tools Registry Mechanic is a complete system optimization tool that not only cleans Windows Registry, but also enables you to optimize other elements on your system.

PC Tune-Up is a slick looking application that takes you through a thorough registry clean up and defrag with minimal fuss. The interface is both attractive and intuitive, and designed for anyone to use.

The optimization process has four steps. First is a backup, in the unlikely event of any mistakes being made. After that, PC Tune-Up scans your registry files, fixes any problems (you can choose to exclude certain files if you wish), and then defragments the registry (organizing it more efficiently). It's extremely easy, and if you want even less input, click the "magic button", and the whole process will be done automatically.

PC Tune-Up also features some memory saving system tweaks that can contribute to speeding up windows in general. the trial version won't fix all of your registry problems, but it will complete the defrag process and activate the optimization tweaks.

PC Tune-Up is a user friendly and fast working registry cleaner, with no irritations at all.

A slow computer can be incredibly annoying to deal with. The causes can be varied, but RegistryBooster 2012 will help ensure that your registry isn't to blame for any sluggishness. Since they're just large databases, registries are highly susceptible to getting out of hand and, over time, becoming disorganized and inefficient. RegistryBooster 2012 aims to reorganize, fix and generally optimize your registry to help make your computer faster in the long run.

RegistryBooster 2012's interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, even if you've never used this type of program before. The main feature is the registry scan button, which will perform a search for problem areas that is quite quick. You will then receive a summary of its findings and can fix whatever is wrong. Unfortunately, the trial version limits you to fixing just 15 problems, but at it least gives you an overview about the registry's current status.

RegistryBooster 2012 allows users who have more of a technical background to configure their own ignore lists. It's also possible to check repair logs and keep track of all the changes applied to the system. Additionally, a backup is automatically created with copies of the registry so that you can restore it to its original state if you need to. Unfortunately, RegistryBooster 2012's configuration options don't go much beyond that.

Although its settings menu is limited, RegistryBooster 2012 is useful for identifying registry errors on your PC.

Abexo Registry Cleaner Free analyzes the registry seeking driver DLL's, invalid file associations erroneous help files, fonts and sounds that could be damaging your system. Like all decent registry cleaners and restorers, it makes an instant backup of a clean configuration to make sure than whatever changes you make with it, can easily be reversed or undone if they actually make the situation worse. What's good about this program is that apart from the standard cleaning, optimizing and restoring functions, it also features a registry defragmenter and compacter.

Defragging your registry is just as important as defragging your drive because over prolonged use, it becomes scattered and slow. The registry defragger/compacter removes empty spaces after a registry cleanup and thereby reduces Windows registry size. The developers claim that this program will find problems with your registry that other analysers don't and while that wasn't the case for me, it still does the job quickly and in providing the defragger/compacter, effectively gives you two bits of software in one.

Abexo Free Registry Cleaner does not do anything that most other registry cleaners can't but it does a thorough job and it does it quickly.
