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.
Publisher's description
From Auslogics Software :Microsoft Windows and various programs access the registry a few hundred times a second. Therefore a fragmented registry is one of the major reasons why your computer may be so slow. Auslogics Registry Defrag can significantly speed up your computer by helping you defragment registry, remove gaps, and make it contiguous, smaller and faster to access.
Version 5.2.19.451 adds animated Registry analysis chart.

Version: Auslogics Registry Defrag 5.2.19.451
"Austlogics Registry Defrag is reliable and functional."
Pros: Both the Austlogics Disk Defrag and Registry Defrag software provide a very reliable and functional set of tools for clients who have little or no knowledge of the need for maintenance of their systems, I recommend it to new clients.
Cons: No real issues - I do not expect it be as fully functional as some of the Reg Cleaner Options available such as PC Fix, RegClean, Reg Mechanic.
Summary: THe product is intuitive for new users with little understanding of the need for regular system maintenance. I recommend it to new clients because the software can be used on a regular basis to help maintain their systems without any fuss or experi... read more >>
