"Best Of The Best!"
Version: Registry First Aid 3.4
Summary
Registry First Aid ("RFA") performs it's duties exactly as advertised. It's primary competition "Registry Mechanic" is also excellent but RFA does the job faster and costs less. I especially like that it displays detailed results in real-time and allows the user to browse it's findings while the scan is in progress. I run the program several times per week and it never fails to detect and safely correct hundreds of obsolete registry entries. As far as I'm concerned RFA is a MUST HAVE utility!

"Excellent product!"
Version: Registry First Aid 3.4
Summary
This is by far the best registry cleaner around! Yes the trial is terrible, but there is a 30 day money back guaruntee, as well as free upgrades for future versions.

"Wow, this was truly amazing!"
Version: Registry First Aid 3.4
Summary
It found and fixed over 1000 problems the others did not detect! I tried a number of registry repair tools and the reason I finally picked RFA over the others is that the trial version was fully transparent. It showed all problems it found. On the other hand, other trial versions only showed some of their findings and kept others unavailable for view until the user paid the license fee. So I was buying something still covered under wraps. By being too afraid of the cheats out there, they made the phrase "evaluation version" lose its full meaning. I applaud your more transparent approach.

"It has a money back guarantee!"
Version: Registry First Aid 3.4
Summary
Gee, who cares if you can fix only fifteen broken entries at a time if it's not registered? It shows you all broken entries and it has a money back guarantee whoch makes Chuck and FeelsCheated's reviews a moot point. This program won the people's choice award which means that it was picked as the best weh thousands of users voted on CNet and the other top download sites. I bought the program after the first run and fixed up two computers that were crashing three or more times a day. Best $21 I ever spent.

"Crippleware until you pay"
Version: Registry First Aid 3.4
Summary
I can't really evaluate the "free to try, $21 to buy" version because it won't actually process more than a tiny sliver of the registry unless you register it (pay). But - it installs all the run-always services which keep asking "scan now?" as though it were going to really do something. I uninstalled it and promptly forgot it.

"Crippleware"
Version: Registry First Aid 3.4
Summary
Unless you don't mind crippleware, don't bother downloading this. It shows you a long list of things it considers "wrong" with your registry, then tells you that it will graciously fix 15 of them, but if you want to fix them all, cough up some dough. It is EXTREMELY slow also.
