"A good registry cleaner, and the right price. (FREE)"
Version: Argente - Registry Cleaner 2.0.0.5
Pros
Very good registry cleaner with options for tailoring to your system and straightforward install, especially on initial use. Updates to database very easy and clean.
Cons
Manual deletion of older version required for clean installation of updated VERSIONS. Perhaps not as thorough as commercial competitors, but certainly more than adequate for the average computer user.
Summary
Good cleaner and very fast (depending on processor speed), and fairly straightforward install and operation.

"Does a Super Job with no ill side-effects."
Version: Argente - Registry Cleaner 1.5.0.2
Pros
GUI is easily understood and clean. Everything functions how I would want and the selections of functionality are very flexible. Very nice program and I have told the author so.
Cons
Perhaps just my pc or configuration, but the last two versions will hang at start up if you have selected "check for updates upon start up." Perhaps it is searching for IE when I use Firefox ? Happens when Firefox 3 is already open too.
Summary
This program is by far the most flexible and feature rich I have ever used and I have tried dozens. Three difference scanning depth modes (I use normal), multiple automatic deletion of backup registry configuration selections or not (I use one month), registry location exclusions (none for me), automated startup/scan/close feature upon bootup (don't use because I feel not necessary to use so frequently) , selectable automatic backup registry before scan feature (of course) and when I did have a question I received a response in less than two days when submission occurred on a weekend. For me this is a keeper.
I do not know the software author nor am I affiliated with them. This is just an honest IMHO. -

Version: Argente - Registry Cleaner 1.4.3.3
Pros
its free??
Cons
Using vista 64, for which it is supposedly compatible, and after one reboot I get blue screen of death every time windows starts. I only hope I can reverse this or it will take weeks to re-install everything I have. DO NOT USE THIS TERRIBLE SOFTWARE
Summary
Very outdated interface, completely corrupted my registry so that windows cannot start. DO NOT USE THIS. I cannot stress this enough.
