Comments on: Featured Freeware: Auslogics Registry Defragger

Auslogics produces some seriously effective Windows utilities, but should the goodwill they've earned be extended to that most notorious species of fixer-upper, the Registry cleaner?

On the average PC, the registry isn't really all that huge, and defragmentation won't give you a significant boost to the end user performance unless there's 2 conditions, you've got a seriously messed up registry, or This computer is over a year old and all I do is install and uninstall every application I can find all day every day.

I think a tool like this is more for the "technophiles" and maybe gamers that want to do everything possible to speed up their machine and get every last portion of a mhz that they can out of their machine.

For your Joe User, I doubt this would even be worth the time to download and install.; Like this Reply to this comment

Besides it's nuances (you supposedly have to stop doing everything while it works) it doesn't even seem to improve system performance. RegVac, jv16 Power Tools are simply much better; there are also some free tools which work pretty well in combo.
