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 4.1.5
"Does improve computer performance."
Pros: Registry cleaning helps, but so does registry defragmentation. Ausologics Registry Defrag improves performance, by removing unnecessary gaps and wasted space in the registry.
When this program first opens click next, all programs must be closed and it will analyze the registry. Then it shows the registry analysis results. Now it will reduce the size of my registry, by 1,112 kilobytes 4% and improve the speed of the registry by 8%. After the computer restarts click display report, and save it in favorites to look at later if you want. It only took 33 seconds to defrag my registry.

Pros: It worked just fine and sorted out 4%. Nice interface and works quick. All round good product. If would very much consider buying this companies goods on the strength of the freeware products they have produced.
Cons: What there to complain about. It works, its quick, does the job and its free.

Version: Auslogics Registry Defrag 4.1.5
Pros: I had no troubles with the software.
Cons: I had to manually go and close open processes in the task manager and my registries weren't that fragmented so I didn't get any noticeable benefits. Anything is better than nothing though right?
