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.
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.
Note: Version 2.9.2 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 2.9.2
Pros: For newbies and pros alike, this program does the job. With a clear, nice interface the program scans quickly and shows the registry parts that are safe to delete, not so sure and unknown. For the newbies, just delete the safe to delete ones and for the advanced you know what to do!
Cons: None.

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 2.9.2
Pros: Does an effective job cleaning the registry of obsolete entries. It also does this job quickly. It backs up what it deletes so that if you delete what should not have been deleted, you can restore those deleted registry entries.
Cons: Does not have an auto scan option. It would be nice to have the ability to set a time to have this software automatically scan the registry.
