Reviewed by: CNET Staff
It's hard to tell if registry defraggers and cleaners work, but the Auslogics Registry Defragger looks good. It's hard to gauge if these programs are effective because once you're done using them, you'd need more than a mere store-bought machine with store-loaded programs to judge CPU speed.
When you run it, it tells you that it will perform a registry analysis, after which you will be able to review its registry report, and once that's done with you can run the registry optimization, requiring a reboot to defrag and compact the registry. It's a fairly serious program, and once you begin the analysis it won't let you move the mouse outside the program window. It also "strongly recommends" that users close all other programs while it runs, although this is a standard warning for registry-cleaning apps.
An expected change in clock speed or other performance benchmarks never materialized. Resource-intensive Internet browsers and e-mail clients may be piggish, but they're necessary and don't load any faster or slower than normal after running the reg defrag. Until a registry defragger or cleaner can demonstrate benchmarkable improvements to a computer, they'll be little more than 21st century snake oil.

Version: Auslogics Registry Defrag 4.0.4
"Great program as usual from Auslogics"
Pros: You need to close all your running programs before you are able to do a full scan of your registry.
Once you close all running programs you can scan your registry and then the program will prompt you to restart your computer. Please do so as it will continue compacting your Windows Register and make your computer boot up faster.
You will see that once that your computer has rebooted. It will go much faster during boot up.
Also when you launch programs now you notice that they start faster than before.
Another great product from Auslogics.
Cons: None, because it's a great product and it's a must-have download.
