Max Secure Registry Cleaner is an easy to use and effective tool for cleaning the Windows Registry. It offers a wide variety of custom scanning options, including a standard and deep scan.

Max Secure Registry Cleaner also offers several data protection/backup options including a backup/restore feature for deleted registry items, so that you can roll-back any changes that cause problems on your system, a full registry backup option allows you to save the entire registry not just the changes made from cleaning as well as the ability to create a system restore point if you use Windows XP.

If you have any concerns about changes made to your system or lost data Max registry Cleaner offers the most protection of any of the registry cleaners in these tests.

Auto-updates and automated scheduled scans are also available if you wish to optimize your system on a regular basis.

The deep scan option found 103 registry problems on my test system. Each problem detected has a brief description as well as a severity assessment, so you can identify and fix high-priority problems immediately

Max Secure Registry Cleaner offers a Registry Optimizer/Defragmenter. The defragmenter will remove dead items and empty space from the registry, while reordering the registry to maximize access time. This will improve system performance, while reclaiming valuable hard drive space. This feature is is easy to use, fast and efficient, and can often shrink the registry by as much as 10%.

Finally, Max Registry Cleaner offers a nice range of support features including Scan Log Analysis which allows you to submit a copy of your registry scan to their support to for analysis if you are concerned about deleting a particular item. This way they can look at you log and make sure everything is ok before deleing anything.

Also included is Live web based help so you can get answers to your questions in real time as opposed to waiting for answers by email.

Registry Cleaner receives my top recommendation. If you are looking for a highly effective yet easy to use registry repair solution Max Registry Cleaner will not disappoint.

Registry Fix is a robust and thorough registry scanner. It features standard, deep and custom scan options, including ignore lists. Registry fix was able to find and repair a large number of registry problems on our test system, behind only Registry Mechanic and Max Secure Registry Cleaner.

This program also features a number of helpful "Managers" to make securing and cleaning your system much easier: The Full Registry Backup Manager is a quick way to ensure that you always have a working version of the registry available. Another useful manager is the System Startup Manager, which allows to browse and remove programs that have been set to start up when Windows boots. The Add/Remove Programs Manager allows you to browse the programs installed on your system and to delete any entries or data that may have been left behind.

Registry Fix can also be configured to run at Windows Startup to ensure that the system is checked regularly for errors. Scheduled scans are not available, however, so users that run their PCs continuously will need to remember to run the scan manually.

Auto-updates are also not available, so future versions of Registry Fix must be downloaded manually.

Registry Fix offers email support as well as a help file within the application. There is no online FAQ or knowledge base available for Registry Fix at this time.

RegCure is an extremely simple and easy to use registry cleaner.

Equipped with the standard features of most registry cleaners like custom scanning options, registry optimization, backup/restore capabilities and scheduled scanning options RegCure is a satisfactory registry optimizer.

There is however not much that makes it stand out compared to our top choice Max Registry Cleaner. RegCure lacks registry defragmenting, has only one method of backup compared to 3 different ways with Max Registry Cleaner and does not have some of the more advanced support features like Live Help and scan log analysis.

If you simple want a registry cleaner without all the bell and whistles RegCure will more than meet your needs.

The PAL Registry Cleaner has the fewest features of the software tested, and also was the least effective in finding registry problems.

While PAL Registry Cleaner does offer a very fast registry backup function, it lacks many of the standard features found in other packages.

The interface is the least attractive of the software tested, but is easy to use. This is largely due to the fact that the PAL Registry Cleaner offers little in the way of custom scanning options.

Users looking for a bare-bones and straightforward registry cleaning solution may want to try PAL Registry Cleaner, but those looking for more options should look elsewhere.
