Finding the Right Registry Repair Tool for Your PC Problems

August 10, 2009

Registry cleaning utilities are one of the most popular software products on the Internet. They’re often described as the one fix all solution to computer troubles, although they’re far from it, they can improve the performance of Windows® and your start up time if you select the right program.

Choosing the right program can be a challenge. There are hundreds of review and registry cleaner comparisons websites, but few seem to actually be testing the programs they’re rating. Rather their comparisons are based on each individual products features and possibly a once over of the free scan tool offered by most companies.

Using a comparison like that isn’t going to tell you much about how the program can actually stop computer problems and improve performance. The only way to find out how well a program is going to work is to actually use it.

Using Reviews and Comparisons as a Guide

Like I said, I wouldn’t place all my trust in a webmaster review or comparison website of registry cleaners. If you’re able to find a website that has some actual user comments about the programs then this would hold a little more weight in my books.

What you can do is use these websites as a guide for which programs you might want to try. Some of the most popular products I’ve seen on review sites are: Regcure, Registry Easy, Registry Fix and Registry Mechanic.

Probably any one of these programs would do a stand up job, how ever before you go ahead and just purchase the first one you come across spend a little time looking at their features. I’ve found that some registry repair programs offer some great add-on features like junk file cleaners, system optimizers, evidence erasers and start-up program management.

These special features can improve start-up time, erase personal info from your computer that viruses and adware often swipe and reduce file clutter.

Price, Guarantee and Free Scan

After a feature comparison I’d suggest comparing pricing and also the guarantee. Not ever registry cleaner offers a refund policy but I’d lean towards one that does. Why? No two computers are the same so the exact performance improvement you’ll get after running the program can’t be determined until you do it. If for some reason you’re not satisfied with the improvement you can always request a refund.

Once you’ve got it narrowed down to a couple of programs go a head and download their free scan utilities. These programs are generally a fully functional version of the registry cleaner without the ability to repair any errors found.

Take a look at the layout and interface, decide which one you like best. Run the free scan, how long does it take and how many errors were found. From this you can make your final decision about which program is best for you computer. And remember you’re only selecting from programs that offer a money back guarantee so if you’re not satisfied with the final results you can always ask for a refund.
