material and prevent crashes. We tried out several of the most reliable ones
and then ranked the top five from excellent to OK, to make it easier for you
to decide which one is best for you. In this way, we did the bulk of the
research for you. We summarized our findings in a side-by-side comparison
below, with links to a more in-depth description of each software package.

 Winner in this year's
Performance Booster/
Registry Cleaner Competition is...
Uniblue's
Power Suite
$59.95
We found that Uniblue's Power Suite is really your best buy to maintain your registry and boost your
computer's performance.
This power suite consists of three well proven
software packages:
-
Uniblue's Registry Booster
cleans your registry as well as your drives;
-
Uniblue's SpeedUpMyPC helps produce maximum processing power from your CPU, memory and RAM; and
-
Uniblue's Spy Eraser
finds, destroys and prevents spyware and
malware.
All this is backed up by an excellent support
team and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
At $59.95, it costs a bit more than some
other packages, but it really is worth the extra money.
We wholeheartedly recommend this package as our Number 1 choice.

 A very good and inexpensive alternative is...
Registry Repair
29.95
If
all you really want is a very good registry cleaner without the extras, then
we confidently recommend Registry Repair by
GlarySoft. This is a real cool yet simple
package that does the job admirably.
In our tests, it did a very thorough job of
identifying and repairing invalid registry entries (including adware and
spyware that use the registry to spread and do damage), while creating a
backup just in case you want to use the restore option.
With a few easy steps, Registry Repair allows you to fix your registry and
optimize your PC's performance.
The package is superior, the support is good,
the price is right and there's a 30 day money-back guarantee. This is quality software that we can confidently recommend.

What to look for in good registry cleaner
software
All the software we tested identified
and removed or repaired basically the same problems. In addition to doing what it's supposed to
do, you want good technical support, you want to make sure the program
supports your operating system (Win
98, ME, NT, XP or whatever you have), and you may want to be able to have
the program run automatically at start-up (some will, some won't). Some
packages, such as our Number 1 recommendation, also include a registry
optimizer, a registry compactor or other performance boosting capabilities,
which may be especially useful if you have a large number of files.

Why you should clean your registry
Your
registry is like a large blackboard on which are written the address of
every file, every program and
every folder in your computer. Whenever you add, change or delete files,
the registry is modified accordingly, but often things remain on the
registry that are no longer used, such as shortcuts to deleted files,
sub files for which the main file has been deleted, help files for
deleted programs, disabled drivers, spyware applications, etc.
Over time, the registry becomes disorganized and overloaded with redundant
material, slowing down your PC's performance. |
