Products : Registry Fix
Overall Rating : 8.9 / 10
Results : Very Good - Only a few
minor errors not fixed.
Free Scan: Yes Available
Comments: Fixed almost all of the registry problems, but
was more confusing than
RegCure.
Registry Fix is a
robust and thorough registry scanner. It features standard, deep and
custom scan options, including ignore lists. Registry fix was able to
find and repair a large number of registry problems on our test system,
behind only Registry Mechanic and Max Secure Registry Cleaner.
This program also
features a number of helpful Managers to make securing and
cleaning your system much easier: The Full Registry Backup Manager is a
quick way to ensure that you always have a working version of the
registry available. Another useful manager is the System Startup Manager,
which allows to browse and remove programs that have been set to start up
when Windows boots. The Add/Remove Programs Manager allows you to browse
the programs installed on your system and to delete any entries or data
that may have been left behind.

Review
The market for registry fixers is huge, so it’s no surprise that
many different ones exist. Registry_Fix
is just one of these many programs, and, as it turns out, is a
pretty decent one. Sure, it doesn’t have the features of better
registry fixers - such as RegCure - but it’s not a terrible
choice. There are some features that make this program a good
one, and some features that it lacks that make this program not
quite as good as it could be.
The Good:
Three Scan Options. Some registry fixer programs only have
one or two scan options, but RegistryFix
features three: standard, deep and, custom. Standard is a pretty
quick running option, but not as thorough as deep, which will
literally scan every single section of your computer for
registry errors. Custom is a good choice for advanced users who
aren’t happy with the scanning power of either standard or deep.
Ignore List. If you want the scan to ignore specific areas of
your registry, Registry.Fix
allows you to do this with the ignore list. Simply add your
areas to the list and they’ll be ignored.
Full Registry Back-Up. The registry is the heart of the
computer—if you lose it, your computer will not operate the
same. Registry-Fix
allows you to perform a full back-up of the registry so that, if
you lose it, you’ll have something to fall back on.
Start-Up Manager. If you want to speed up the boot time of
your computer and don’t need all the programs that start up, you
can use RegistryFix’s neat Start-Up Manager feature to
add/remove the programs that start when the computer boots up.
The Bad:
No Scheduled Tasks. With many computer tools like anti-virus
programs, as well as other registry cleaners, there is an option
to schedule scans. Unfortunately,
RegistryFix does not
allow you to do this. For people that lack the time to manually
set up scans, this is definitely bad news.
No Automatic Updates. Considered a standard feature by most
computer users, automatic updates in programs are quite
essential and RegistryFix lacks this feature. Anyone who
purchases RegistryFix
and wishes to keep it up to date must manually update via the
web site. This can be a bit of a pain for many, including those
who don’t check often for program updates.
Overall:
Reg Fix is a decent
program that many will find useful. It does a good job of
cleaning the registry, and its ignore list, full registry and
start-up manager features are terrific. What stops it from being
the best cleaner is the lack of scheduled tasks and automatic
updates.
RegistryFix can also
be configured to run at Windows Startup to ensure that the system is
checked regularly for errors. Scheduled scans are not available, however,
so users that run their PCs continuously will need to remember to run the
scan manually.
Auto-updates are also
not available, so future versions of Registry Fix must be downloaded
manually.
Registry Fix offers
email support as well as a help file within the application. There is no
online FAQ or knowledge base available for Registry Fix at this time.
