Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This excellent, free utility makes the potentially daunting prospect of cleaning your PC's registry safe and simple. The interface is 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. In case something goes wrong after deletion, you can quickly restore the removed keys. The program also gives you an additional safety cushion by pointing out keys that are not 100 percent safe to delete. In our tests, the utility found and removed hundreds of junk entries in minutes, making it a worthy download for just about any home user, especially those less technically inclined.Publisher's description
From Tweak Now :The Registry is the heart and soul of any Windows system. It contains information that controls how your system appears and how it behaves. When you install an application, new Registry entries will be created. These entries automatically will be deleted when you uninstall the application. Unfortunately, this process does not always work. Sometimes, some applications fail to remove their own Registry entries. These entries become obsolete.
After a long period, after you install and uninstall a number of applications, your Windows Registry will contain a large number of obsolete entries. This will significantly increase the Registry size and slow down your computer, because Windows will need more time to load, search, and read data from the Registry. To keep your computer at top performance, it is recommended you periodically clean your Windows Registry. Version 2.0.9 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 2.0.9
Pros: This is the best registery cleaner available. One of my friends had a really slow computer and I ran this small program and it detected 75 errors and removed them all. After a reboot the computer ran like new. My computer runs faster with this program also. The scan is really quick and detects everything.
Cons: The only issue I have with this product is updating. This program has no update feature like many other registry cleaners, but who cares if it removes everything.

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 2.0.9
"ONE GREAT REGISTRY CLEANER !!"
Pros: This is the best of the registry cleaners because it is simple, safe & stable. It allows selective cleaning by allowing you to choose which areas of the registry you want to clean. After scanning it displays a menu of the keys to be removed. These are catagorized into three groups. Safe to delete, questionable & unknown. Some information is given for each key by selecting it. You can go through the list and choose which keys to delete and which keys not to delete. A backup is made of the deleted keys. In case a problem is encountered you can restore them. Some thinking is required because unlike many other registry cleaners TweakNow does not just automatically whack out a lot of Keys. I think so much of this program that after I use for a short while I will upgrade to the pro version.
Cons: None

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 2.0.9
Pros: Silky smooth, lightning fast, with a good detection rate. Very user friendly. I would recommend the Professional version for the excellent "Deep Scan" option.
