"Which Registry Cleaner Provides The Best Performance Increase?"
Updated: August 15th, 2009
Is your computer running slower than it did when you first purchased it? This decrease in performance is usually caused by the programs that we download and install. Over time these programs junk up your computer's registry.
This eventually leads to aggravating problems like: slower computer and internet connection speeds; windows errors; blue screens; and even computer crashes!
A good registry cleaner will fix those aggravating problems, but which registry cleaner actually provides a significant performance increase?
When I began testing for the best registry cleaner for this site, I was surprised to find that the registry cleaner programs that other sites were recommending as their top choices were not performing the best in my personal tests... meaning that very few, if any, of these sites are actually buying and testing these "recommended registry cleaner programs" themselves.
Registry Easy was the clear winner in my personal tests. Registry Easy was able to find and repair far more errors than any other registry cleaner that I tested. The result was a more significant performance increase.
The scan results went as follows:
- Registry Easy - 3,082 (errors found)
- RegCure - 1,621
- Registry Mechanic - 743
- RegDefense - 611
- Registry Fix - 542
- RegClean - 105
Bottom Line:
My personal tests revealed 4 top registry cleaner programs with Registry Easy beating the others in almost every category. Registry Easy™ offered the most comprehensive suite of utilities, and the best performance increase. It was also the most compatible registry cleaner, working on all Windows® operating systems from Windows® 98 to Windows® Vista.
RegCure came in a close second place. Regcure is also a great registry cleaner, with slightly fewer features than Registry Easy. RegCure is also less compatible (doesn't work with Windows® Vista 64-bit).
Besides testing the top 6 paid registry cleaner programs available, I also tested dozens of free registry cleaner programs. None of them provided a performance increase worth mentioning. Of all the software that I tested, I only recommend using one of the four programs listed below.
