CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on January 14, 2009
This program provides utilities to quickly tidy up your Registry, but lacks some features of competing applications. Wise Registry Cleaner 3 Free has an intuitive interface and is relatively easy to use.
The program works quickly, using very few of the computer's resources. This cleanup tool offers an undo option, which is important any time you deal with the Registry. Users can even set the program to check the Registry automatically, although there is no option to set a specific time for this function. One feature this program lacks is a severity level warning. A harmless entry from a deleted program is shown as having no distinct differences from an entry from a harmful virus or malware. It does have easy-to-understand graphic warnings for any entry that may be dangerous to delete, though.
It also would be nice if users were offered the option to select/deselect all, since there may be dozens of entries but only be one or two severe issues in the Registry. Still, this freeware Registry cleaner proved effective, and we recommend it for users comfortable working with the registry.

Version: Wise Registry Cleaner 1.87 build 43
"Good Registry Cleaner but still buggy"
Pros: Very clean and simple GUI.Easy to use and quick scans. Tells you what is safe to fix and what is not safe to fix.Sports a restore feature if you decide to bring back any or all the files that were deleted. Great for the novice or the advanced user.Works great with XP and it helps "clean up" unneeded junk in your registry thus speeding up your PC a bit. Good tech support in case you need help.
Cons: Publishers claims that it works with Vista.My personal experience is that it is still quite buggy with Vista. It installs and runs scans fine but some notification boxes are partially visible and when it comes to "fix" all the unnecessary files, the program hangs and never finishes.Tech support says that the newest release will fix the bugs but build 43 released today still has not fixed the Vista glitches.
Overall I give it 4 stars for running it on XP but only 1 star for compatibility with Vista. Hopefully the next version will fix this.
