RegistryFix – a Review

RegistryFix is a resourceful and a must-have maintenance tool for Microsoft Windows operating system users. Windows Registry rests at the core of the operating system and consists of a database of entries that governs every aspect of the system’s working. Over a period of time, there is a good chance that the registry accumulates unwanted entries or keys left behind by the malware activity.

Why use RegistryFix?

In addition to having trusted antivirus software, it is also essential to have a tool like RegistryFix handy to ensure optimum performance of your computer. RegistryFix does a thorough scan of your PC and identifies irregularities that include Invalid file paths, Malware entries, ActiveX errors and DLL Runtime errors. The complete version of the software also allows you to fix the errors found in the scan, through a single click.

We now take an elaborate look at the features of RegistryFix:

Availability and Installation: RegistryFix installation is available as an executable file on www.registryfix.com. The free download allows you to do a deep scan of your system and lists registry problems across different categories. These may be fixed manually, or through an upgraded version of RegistryFix, which is available for purchase on the same website. The exe installation file starts an easy wizard and installs the software in a matter of seconds.

Free and Full Scan: The free download allows you to conduct a free and full-featured scan of your system and gauge the capability of the software in fishing out errors hidden in your registry. The scan tool also allows you to selectively check specific errors or areas of your Windows registry. During our test, we observed that the scan finished in a matter of minutes giving a fairly detailed list of errors found in the registry.

Browser Helper Object Scan: A large variety of malware make their way to your system through your web browser. Browsers including Internet Explorer make use of Browser Handling Objects and plug-ins for their functionality. Malware can sometimes disguise itself as one of these and cause errors in your browser and registry. RegistryFix traces these irregularities too and gets your browser as well as system in order, by correcting BHO issues.

Startup Program Entries: When Windows starts-up, there is a list of programs that start along with it based on listing of startup keys in the registry. Each of these programs consumes system memory space and increases time to startup your machine. Many of these are not required to be running continuously. RegistryFix provides an easy interface to disable unwanted startup programs and make your machine boot as well as run faster.

Add/Remove Program Manager: RegistryFix provides an advanced Add/Remove Program Manager that helps error free installation and complete uninstallation of software from your system. The bundled program manager of Windows is not efficient when it comes to removing all the supporting files and registry entries associated with programs during uninstallation. RegistryFix program manager feature keeps the registry and your system lean and free from redundant and unwanted entries.

Registry Backup: An essential feature of RegistryFix is the backup feature that can prove to be extremely important in case of a system crash. Backups of the registry taken through RegistryFix can help you reverse any fatal changes made to the registry and restore the system back to normal.

Conclusion

A tool like RegistryFix is a must have to ensure optimum performance of your Windows PC. Regular scan and clean up of the registry through the software helps keep your PC performing like new.
