Advanced Registry Doctor Pro 8.7.7.16

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Have you taken a good look at your Registry lately? Orphaned program references, forgotten DLLs--what a mess. Advanced Registry Doctor Pro clears out the clutter and boosts system performance in the process. It gives you several options for scanning your Registry for faulty entries, such as invalid program shortcuts, useless fonts, and needless file extensions. Should something go wrong after cleaning, you can roll back the changes. We like Advanced Registry Doctor Pro's other features, which include a defragmenter, a backup utility, and a tool for scheduling Registry wipes. You also will find utilities for managing start-up programs and protecting against adware (ActiveX blocking). The Optimize Your PC button tweaks some Windows settings related to interface, network connection, and stopping hung applications, but unfortunately, it doesn't let you choose which optimizations to apply (at least you can reverse the effects if necessary). And don't expect a full tune-up for nothing; the demo removes only one out of every three junk Registry entries it finds. Free Registry cleaners are abundant, but we still think Advanced Registry Doctor Pro is worthwhile for its strong performance and supplementary features.

Publisher's description

From Elcor Software :

Advanced Registry Doctor (ARD) will cure your registry and thus provide a better performance of your Windows OS. Lots of programs, including MS Windows itself, have a bad habit to alter the registry in such a way, which causes appearance of different problems. Some errors are noticeable while some other are not. Some are innocent, but still its possible you will find few, which will make you suffer.Some programs write incorrect uninstall information to registry which in its turn can make correct software removal impossible. Incorrect references to font/help/dll and other important files frequently influence on the way that programs work giving you even more unpleasant problems to face.

Version 8.7.7.16 is a bug fixing release.
