Why do you need a Registry Cleaner?


Registry Cleaner is a must have software for every Windows user. Without using a Registry Cleaner regularly your computer will become poorly optimized.

Poor computer optimization results in:

- Crashes
- Errors
- Freezing
- Slow start-up time
- Slow shut-down time
- Blue Screens of Death
- and many other annoying problems

By using a Registry Cleaner you will not only eliminate most errors and crashes but you will see a massive improvement in the start-up time of your PC and also the overall speed of your computer.

RegistryEasy is THE registry cleaner. It fulfils all criteria of an excellent Registry Cleaner. The interface is very clean and easy to navigate in it. People without much computer knowledge will love the "1-click Maintenance" feature. Compared to other Registry Cleaners in the test this feature does not only automatically repair the registry but also: cleans up browsing evidence, removes junk files from the system, optimizes the system and scans the computer for uninstall problems that could have occurred due to incorrect uninstallation of a program. You can also turn a specific feature off if you don't want your browsing history deleted for example. This really is a complete 1-click maintenance of the system and it will keep your system running fast and completely error-free.
Like with RegistryFix you can also back-up your complete registry in case something goes wrong but this is more than unlikely to happen. RegistryEasy also contains a TON of advanced features so an advanced user can completely tweak his PC. Some additional features are: tweaking memory, internet speed optimization, uninstall manager for easy and correct
unistallation of programs from your PC, system optimizer and much more...
RegistryEasy found unbelievable 1840 registry errors on the tested computer and fixed every single one of them. Even though RegistryEasy found the most problems it had the shortest scanning time. It took a bit longer to fix all the problems compared to other cleaners but this is obvious as it had to fix the most errors.
For the price $34.95 you receive a licence for 3 computers so if you have more than 1 computer in the house you only have to buy RegistryEasy once. Whereas with other Registry cleaners in the test you would have to buy a license for every single computer.
Of course, RegistryEasy also offers a trial version so you can go ahead and see how many errors you have on your PC right now! If you decide to purchase RegistryEasy but you find yourself dissatisfied with it (I would be very surprised) you have 60 days to ask for 100% money back.
If you experience any difficulties with RegistryEasy you can send an email to the support centre and they will respond within 48 hours. I have personally tested their help centre and they responded within 12 hours with a very kind and detailed answer.

Verdict:

There is no need to even consider other Registry Cleaners as long as RegistryEasy is here. It is the king of the Registry Cleaners. Suitable for complete computer "newbies" but also advanced users who like to play around and tweak their system to the point of perfection. RegistryEasy just has it all: amazing performance, simple interface, helpful help-centre and the best value for the money you can get. Get it!

RegistryFix ended up 2nd in the test. Although it performs way better than RegClean it is still quite far behind RegistryEasy and it is also the most expensive Registry Cleaner in the test.
The interface of RegistryFix is easy to use and just like RegClean it also features "one-click" repair and therefore requires no computer skills at all. Although it is simple to use it also contains some advanced options for advanced users who want to tweak their PC even more. RegistryFix also features an option to make a complete back-up of your registry so if anything goes wrong you can roll back the registry from your back-up and have it just as it was before.
RegistryFix found 845 mistakes on the tested computer which is twice as much as RegClean but more than twice less than RegistryEasy. All 845 out of 845 mistakes were fixed which is a great result.
RegistryFix also offers 60-day 100% money back guarantee in case you are dissatisfied with the product and you can also download a free trial to see how many errors you have in your registry before deciding whether you will purchase it. To fix them, you have to upgrade to the full version though.

Verdict:
RegistryFix is an excellent piece of software but I don't see any reason why you would want to buy it over RegistryEasy. It costs more. You receive only 1 licence key for one computer and it does not perform as well as RegistryEasy.

RegClean - Is not one of the most known Registry Cleaners out there but after seeing the screenshots of the beautiful interface I decided to include it in the test. The installation was the same as with other Registry Cleaners, very simple. The cleaner welcomed me with beautiful interface (best out of all tested cleaners) and I was excited to see it perform just as good as it looks.
Well, I was very disappointed to find out it scanned pretty slowly and in the end found only 481 errors and fixed 465 of them. Even though it might seem like a lot, compared to RegistryEasy and RegistryFix it fell very short.
Compared to other 2 other Registry Cleaners in the test RegClean does not offer many advanced options for advnaced users and therefore it is aimed mainly at people who don't want anything more than a simple and fully autmatic Registry Cleaner.
RegClean offers a free trial so you can go ahead and test it for
yourself. If you decide to purchase it you get a 60-day money back guarantee like with other Registry Cleaners.

Verdict:
Absolutely not recommended. It is not enough to have a great interface and very average performance. If this cleaner combined its interface with the performance of RegistryEasy it would be a top cleaner.
Although it is the cheapest cleaner in the test (which is reflected in its performance) I recommend you pay few dollars more and buy a much much better cleaner, such as RegistryEasy.
