While not as comprehensive as similar tools in the genre, this freeware Registry Checker and Process Manager is efficient and effective. The vast majority of users will find PCAnalyzer's very basic multitabbed interface quickly and easily learned. The functions are simple and require almost no instruction for most users.

PCAnalyzer's prime function scans your Windows Registry quickly to list keys considered suspect. The program doesn't explain the reasons for listing each entry. While there is a simple single button to fix checked keys, you must first spend time checking keys one at a time. There is no method to check or uncheck all entries. A Process Manager operates in a similar manner. The process list displays quickly, and killing a process merely takes two clicks. Both functions include speedy save-list-to-text-file options. Additional functions help edit the Hosts file, delete selected files on reboot, perform simple files searches, and manage backups of deleted Registry keys.

There are tools in this category that are more flexible than PCAnalyzer, but this freeware works well and would make a great addition to your toolbox.

HijackThis clone...
PrashantGogoiFebruary 22, 2012
Pros
Fast, easy to use
Cons
Bare bones features
Summary
With a 5 Star Editor rating from CNET, it hardly lives upto its rating. I did not take the trouble to test all functions except for the Registry Scan. After some time with the program, it was clear that PCAnalyzer is nothing but a poor man's HijackThis. Best left to basic users who will find this tool extremely easy to use, other users will be better served by using the much better HijackThis (not that HijackThis is difficult to use for basic users, by the way)
PCAnalyzer is for expert use only

PC Analyzer has a fairly satisfactory detection system
cpax12August 9, 2008
Pros
The software has a Simple Interface and it does the job quite well and its size is 361.67K as the software publisher has claimed.
Cons
The Interface needs further enhancement and one doesn't know for sure which files that it has detected are OK to be deleted that would solve the Registry Problems in the System
Summary
Nifty Tool worth trying out
