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 2.6.7 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 2.6.7
Pros: As far as registry cleaners go, TweakNow scans and repairs your registry very fast. TweakNow is great for the novice. After the scan it will list the problems it found in 3 catagories: Safe to delete, Not safe to delete, and Unknown. Just click the Safe to delete and your pc will be running like new again. More advanced users can decide if they want the "unknown" or "not safe" items deleted, or pick ones to exclude. I like this product and give it 5 stars and two thumbs up!

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 2.6.7
"One-Click Registry Clean-Up Tool"
Pros: Just one click and your computer is scanned and RegCleaner detects any bad registry keys and all that that may be junking up your registry and allowing you to select and clean certain problems. Also sorts different problems into 'safe to remove', 'not fully safe to delete' and 'unknown'.
Cons: To find out if the problems under 'unknown' are safe to delete, you need to run a deep scan to see if they are currently associated with any application and if the application needs it. Also this program isnt recommended if you do not trust yourself with things to do with the registry (generally people that dont know much about computers) - one thing wrong and it can all go wrong!

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 2.6.7
Pros: Even at dial-up, the download was quick and the scan was easy and quick. Interface is super user friendly.
Cons: If anything could be improved, may a little more detailed explanation of what files are actually for so user knows more before the decide to delete.
