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
"a free registry cleaner that works easily"
Pros: ease of use. clear labeling.
Cons: It's hard not to second guess the results of this program. Each different registry cleaner out there will find problems the others will not. It would be nice if pigs flew and this bit of FREEware were perfect but I'm not complaining.
Summary: Keeping Window's registry clean is a great way to maintain optimum performance. TweakEasy is the only tool you'll need to help keep your registry lightning quick.

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 4.7.1
"I don't know whether TweakNow 4.7.1 is good or bad."
Pros: I am not such a computer boffin as to be able to say whether TweakNow RegCleaner 4.7.1 is good or badbut it appears to be professional and efficient.
Cons: I use multiple Reg Cleaners and others always find stuff left by TweakNow when it has finished so I TweakNow does not clean the Registry completely.
