Promising a complete scan in less than 2 minutes and 100% satisfaction guaranteed, RegSweep is setting its targets high in winning over the PC clean-up software market.

But is the product good enough to clean-up the market, so to speak?

Well, first things first. It should be noted that RegSweep is a genuine product offering a genuine service that lives up to its word. Doesn’t sound like a lot, does it? But given the ridiculous number of spyware infested “cleaning utilities”, it’s an immediate feather in the cap for the RegSweep developers.

The software comes with the scanning features that you’d expect, and is presented in an easy to understand interface. The icons are big, the colours are bright and you won’t find any computer terms that’d send a chill down the spine of a technophobe.

Registry clean-up utilities seem to be built on the same principle these days; to make it as easy as possible for the beginner to use. After all, that’s the market that they’re expecting to corner. Those of us foolish enough to let our poor registries gather dust and corruptions over months on end!

A single click will have RegSweep scanning for stray DLL files, invalid registry entries and a whole host of errors. True to its word, RegSweep does operate much faster than its rivals. The scan is complete in a matter of minutes and you’ll be presented with a list of problems, assuming that you actually have some (and we all do if we’ve resorted to downloading a system clean-up package!)

RegSweep may be quick, but it isn’t as effective in terms of detecting errors. Other utilities found notably more errors, leading us to believe that the software isn’t equipped with the same array of libraries as its rivals. Maybe the developers are too keen to keep that scan under the 2 minute mark, but it leaves a little to be desired.

On the plus side, there is an option to retrieve updated library files from the application’s online database. You can download these updates and, in theory, stay on top of more recent corruptions - whether that’s enough to boost RegSweep to the same level of performance as its direct rivals remains in doubt.

RegSweep isn’t all about fixing errors though. It works to boost your general PC performance by the tried and tested start-up management. Whenever you load your PC, you’ll notice that if you’ve left it to gather plenty of programs, the boot process takes considerably longer. Simple reason for this; the system is having to load more drivers and applications.

By using RegSweep’s in-built start-up manager, you can deselect any applications that aren’t required when Windows loads up. It sounds like a small touch, and it is, you can still manage the start-up processes without RegSweep, but you’ll notice a great difference when you get rid of all those useless programs.

Generally speaking, RegSweep is well worth a try if you’re sick of clean-up utilities that constantly fail to deliver on what they’ve been promising.

While it isn’t the best solution on the market, it will clean a lot of the registry errors that you are currently encountering, and runs as smoothly as any of the competition. Visit the RegSweep website for a free download and trial period.

Scan, Repair and Optimize your PC!

This is the optimistic tagline of RegCure, one of many registry cleaning software packages vying for our attention in a very competitive market. But where other utilities come ridden with spyware and ad junk, RegCure sets itself apart as a legitimate contender.

Available to download for free from the RegCure.com website, the utility packs quite the unexpected punch for such a lightweight app. At just over 1mb in size, it certainly won’t be clustering your hard drive to the hilt. But good things can come in small packages, and RegCure proves it so.

First things first, we should note that while RegCure is free to download, it isn’t strictly free to use. You will need to register before you can fix the sizable chunk of errors that the program is likely to report. The trial version allows a maximum of five errors to be fixed. And unless you unwrapped your copy of Microsoft Windows in the last five minutes, this is going to leave some of the problems untreated.

The utility is simplified to cater for absolute beginners with its “one click to a finish” system. But while beginners will be able to make use of the software, so will the computer gurus at the other end of the market. RegCure is excellent at what it does, so what does it do?

It gives a remarkable boost to your PC performance. The application tackles all issues related to corruption of the Windows registry. Anybody who has spent a reasonable amount of time looking in to Windows problems will be aware that many of the errors we encounter are down to an untidy registry, corrupted or otherwise.

For a typical user to go in and reverse the necessary changes to restore a healthy registry, you could set aside a day or two. Errors are a pain to fix, and you really have to know what you’re doing as a bad edit could lock you out of the system completely.

This, of course, leads us to the benefits of RegCure. The utility is designed specifically to automate the process of cleaning a Windows registry. It will fix the outdated entries, remove the invalid data, and clean out anything and everything that you don’t need. Just follow the simple three step process and you will be left with an overview of the errors that RegCure detected.

Once you’ve selected the problems you wish to fix, it’s another one click process to let RegCure take care of the bad registry entries.

To label the utility as a one trick pony would be easy, but let’s not forget some of the additional services that RegCure offers. You will find a comprehensive registry back-up and restore feature. This winds a system back to a saved registry, and allows you to protect your current system in the event of corruption.

There is also the ability to adjust the programs that run when you launch your operating system. More experienced users will be aware that this is configurable through the Windows system itself, but RegCure presents the options nice and clearly for those who haven’t encountered the start up wizard before.

Many would argue that there’s no such thing as a totally clean Windows registry, and they’d be partially correct. But with RegCure you can ensure that your registry is kept and looked after. This in turn will produce a noticeable boost to your system performance. If that’s your goal, head on over to the RegCure website and take a look for yourself. We recommend the software highly.

Registry Fix is reaping the benefit of being a rare find in the PC clean-up utility market. While other software developers are focusing on blindsiding their customers with spyware and hidden junk, Registry Fix does what it says on the tin; it fixes your registry.

And we’re pleased to report, it does it competently.

Bereft of the glossy presentation that you’ll find in some of its rival applications, Registry Fix isn’t particularly attractive on the eye. It has a simple interface with image icons used to navigate between the various scans and configurations. That said, this utility is perfectly suitable to the beginner user. If you can manage a mouse click to scan, and a mouse click to repair, this utility won’t be giving you sleepless nights.

Are you receiving those dreaded blue screens of death? DLL errors? How about unpredictable system errors that take the liberty to pop-up as they so please?

Well, if you’re suffering from any of the above, a quick scour with the scanning feature of Registry Fix will highlight the problems. Instead of going in and fixing each individual error ourselves, we can automate the process with this handy utility. You wouldn’t want to be accessing the Windows Registry on a regular basis in any case. It’s remarkably complex and worryingly sensitive to the slightest change.

Registry Fix will check the integrity of your system and report back with its findings in a rather uncomplicated fashion.

New users will be pleased by the lack of obtuse technical terms. If you’re not technologically inclined, it’s much easier to deal with the terms “Error” and “Fix”. But for those wanting a more conclusive rundown of what these errors actually are, you might want to look elsewhere. Registry Fix tells you that it’s about to fix something, but it’s not always great for telling you what’s wrong!

Furthermore, you will need to make the upgrade to a registered version of the program if you seriously want to clean your system. Expect to find hundreds of errors when scanning a system which has been left to its own devices for anything longer than a month. The nature of the trial period means that you’ll be able to fix some, but only a tiny percentage, we’re talking a couple percent!

Registry Fix comes with several add-on features which make it stand out from other software packages, without ever revolutionizing the market.

You will find the Browser Helper Object Manager, a neat little tool which is capable of eliminating third party toolbar add-ons when you browse the Internet. Unsolicited add-ons, at least.

There’s also a tool to keep on top of the programs that start when you load up your operating system. Have you noticed that it seems to be taking longer than it did when you brought it home from the store for the first time? That’s because as time goes by, Windows accrues many, many additional files and configurations which combine to slow down the system if left to load on boot. Registry Fix gives you full control of the programs that will load when you sign on. Experienced users will be aware that this is possible through Windows, but Registry Fix highlights the capability for those who don’t have full grasp of the technical side.

To top things off, we have a comprehensive back-up/restore suite, an absolute must for any respectable registry cleaning application. This ensures that you can back-up your registry in the event of a virus or self inflicted corruption (it happens!).

Registry Fix isn’t particularly flash, but it does its job. And where registry cleaning software is concerned, that’s all we care about!
