CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This excellent freeware utility makes the potentially daunting prospect of cleaning your Windows Registry safe and simple. The interface is spare and straightforward, and most users will probably only need the Scan and Remove buttons.
The settings are configured for immediate use, although you may exclude some Registry branches and references to removable drives from the scan. The default Beginner mode only displays items marked safe to remove, and the Expert mode makes clear which ones aren't. In case something goes wrong after deletion, you can quickly restore the removed keys.
In our tests, the utility found and removed hundreds of junk entries in minutes, making it a worthy download for almost any home user, especially those who are less technically inclined.

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 4.7.1
"Compact Utility Does its Job with no Fuss!"
Pros: Very light and compact, easy to use GUI, and even a "Check Update" button to ensure the product itself is kept up-to-date (i.e. that you have latest version). The registry scanner is conservative and won't delete necessary keys/values ..
Cons: none to mention, it does it's job well and that's all there is to it!
Summary: It even has a button to uninstall itself, should you dislike this (free) product for whatever reason. Does the same job of reg-cleaning done by the paid products of similar functionality. And it includes a registry defragmenter (compactor) which i... read more >>

Pros: easy installation. no complicated options and works safely. it does wot it says, it even manages to avoid a load of invalid CLID entries that HP seem to like to use with its printer drivers, other software quite happily deletes these entries
Cons: there is nothing bad about the program

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 4.7.1
Pros: I know this tool for long and was a pleasant surprise to see the developer added registry defragmenting function to a freeware registry cleaner.
Cons: The GUI gives it a bit of toy look, though the tool itself is much more serious and better development than its GUI suggests.
Summary: I visited their site and appreciated their approach to business of not bombarding users with stupid lies of being the best, safest of the world and no faked comparisons with other products. Meanwhile their product is better than the products of some... read more >>
