"Wow, Some People Need To Pay Attention When Installing!"
Version: Registry Life 1.31
Pros
It found 156 items that CCleaner and Auslogics both missed. Out of the 156 items I found 151 that I knew were obsolete software references, the other 5 I wan't sure about so I added them to the ignore list.
Cons
None. The program does what it says it will.
Summary
This little known program does what it says. If found a crap load of entries that others missed. It also defragged and compressed the registry as well.........All of the people crying about malware (lol) and crapware just installed this program without READING the installer. I suggest using the custom install feature on this, AND ALL, software installations. Take your time and read!!
Free software has to generate $ somehow, so most of them partner up with someone and try to install a new search engine, or toolbar, ect....
Always do a custom install!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -

"very dangerous program"
Version: Registry Life 1.26
Pros
none whatsoever
Cons
it will offer you the instalation of emoticons for facebook, a dangerous thing to do since this is a highly dangerous spyware thing. IF you remove the program the spyware stays since they are independent things.
Summary
you computer can get contaminated with dangerous spyware things.

"A bit dangerous and installs crapware"
Version: Registry Life 1.26
Pros
The registry defragger seemed to work fine.
Cons
Registry optimizer suggested several entries for deletion which appeared to be incorrect.
Also popped up a window saying "do you agree". I hit yes before reading and it installed an annoying browser extension which becomes default search provider.Summary
Use Auslogics for the registry optimization and use this for the registry defrag afterwards.
I'd like to update this review to 1 star.
Updated on Feb 7, 2011
The spyware they installed was not removed by doing an uninstall. In addition, each browser had to have add-ins removed manually, then each browser had to have the default search provider manually set back to what I wanted it, instead of Facemoods.com, then I had to do a search and find out that to set Firefox's default keyword search back I had to go to About:config search for facemoods, reset to default values, then find out how to actually make the google search work again.
Annoying.
Also, my sound card no longer functions. This is bad software and should be removed from download.com -
"Works good."
Version: Registry Life 1.26
Pros
Cleans it all nicely.
Cons
Cleans out my passwords, because I can't figure out how to stop it from cleaning them. I'm not computer savvy.

Easy enough, I run it once a month.

"Absolutely wonderful!"
Version: Registry Life 1.22

So easy to use and novice friendly. Used for a week so far and it hasn't messed up our Vista or XP.
Cons

"Nothing special."
Version: Registry Life 1.22
Pros
Found substantial number of registry errors.
Cons
One of the slower registry cleaners I have used to date.
Summary
On first use, it seemed competent but slow. I have been using Registry Mechanic for years as my primary registry cleaner--and it beat out Registry Life with number of errors and speed. But I also recently tried out Auslogic's free Registry Cleaner, which blew both Registry Life and Registry Mechanic out of the water. So while Registry Life is OK, Auslogic set a new standard for me. If you are using Registry Life and are happy with it, no reason to give it up. But there are better, faster products out there.
