RegSeeker offers a powerful registry cleaner, but it's marred by a complex layout and rather slow performance. The program has a plain menu, takes forever to clean your files, and then doesn't really give you any statistics about what it's doing. You have to babysit it to make the most out of it, too. It's still better than cleaning these files manually, but not by much.

When you're installing the program, it tries to hit you with the Delta toolbar. Make sure you deselect all of the boxes, as deselecting only the main box still lets Delta change your homepage and search. RegSeeker's layout is nice to look at, but it's a pain to navigate. Finding the "Clean All" button that everyone will be looking for takes a minute or two. The rest of the navigation panels relate to features that only advanced techies probably need. If you're one of those, you're probably not using this program. Cleaning took about an hour and sent frequent pop-notifications. It would be nice if the program just mentioned those conflicts after it was finished. The program didn't give any sort of analysis once it was done. In fact, it just decided to close itself once it finished cleaning.

If you're a stickler for advanced options, you might find something to like about RegSeeker. Users who just want a faster, less cluttered computer should look for alternatives that are just faster and more efficient than this program.

Been using it for years. The best FREE Reg Cleaner
November 9, 2015
Pros
Speeds up PC really well Free to download full version
Cons
Takes a bit of know how to learn to use, can take hours to delete unwanted junk files. It's much faster to use CCleaner first to rid junk files and then use the RegSeekers "AutoClean"
Summary
A good aggressive registry cleaner, not like some other namby pamby reg cleaners that don't do much or others that do a scan and then you have to Register to buy the program

Pros
I Using regseeker for a short time and i'm satisfied because of the option to customise almost everything and for the amazingly fast search of registry. Sometimes does not found all registry keys but rarely. It's a nice utility and does not need installation, but need attention to know what you doing.After all it have a warning from the author.
Cons
Good utility i giving 4stars.
Summary
number one

Pros
i have been trying different software for years & i have never found a better reg cleaner or editor,in no way is it difficult to use.
Cons
best & easiest to use,you'd be hard pushed to do any damage with it.
Summary
i suppose it depends what you are looking for,but for me it can do things,or it's easier to do things that others can't.
Flakey on Some Machines
Harry_DevlinOctober 21, 2013
Pros
Sometimes works.
Cons
RegSeeker is an interesting program, unfortunately there's a persistent bug in it that comes and goes with different revisions. If you include ActiveX /COM (CLSID) in th the cleaning, you'll get the error message: Type de donnees incorrect pour "
Summary
They need to fix the bugs.
I use this program on all of my computers
grometOctober 17, 2013
Pros
Easy to find reg. files, auto clean is at first nerve racking but after doing it for 10 years now it seems safe and make the computer slightly faster.
Cons
If you use a lot of programs you'll be fine but if your not used to using new software you may need to ask someone to help you.
Summary
This program has been out a long time and although I don't use it very often,it's on all of my computers now and will be on all my computers in the future.
efficient and free

grometApril 19, 2013
Pros
regseeker has been on at least 7 of my computers over the years my compaint is this "iminent" malware that ended up on my computer even though i unchecked all the add on boxes.
Cons

Summary
STAY AWAY!
Make sure you backup it vicious !!
atkin8December 1, 2012
Pros
Deletes many reg entries in comparison with other reg cleaners.
Cons
Corrupted user profile .Do not use the restore in the program. Go to the program file and find the backup file then merge.Then on dos loadup screen press F8 to the choices menu and choose ''load last known good configuration'' .Hope the user file will be restored.
Summary
works too well .be prepared for errors but you have the backup.
I like the older version better overall
ehoff61November 25, 2011
Pros
New buttons. Nice color scheme.
Cons
Didn't work well on my system. The french language thing came up again.
Summary
I would prefer this over the old if only it worked on my system.
Good, Light, Doesn't need to be installed
QUlNTESSENTIALApril 23, 2011
Pros
Maybe a little outdated, but if you are still running XP like me were running outdated software anyways. Doesn't work on Windows 7
Cons
Very lightweight program, doesn't require installation, run once, clean, repeat when needed. The main registry and various other history and other cleaners in it all work very very well.
Summary
A must have in your arsenal, but of no use if you upgrade to Win7
