Which Tool?

In 2009 there's an avalanche of products claiming to be the most 'powerful', 'incredible', 'thorough' tool at cleaning your registry. Some these tools are superb. Some of them - total garbage. Save yourself some pain with this 'at a glance' page featuring key points and notes on each tool.

	Price	Errors Fixed *	Score	My Notes
Registry Easy	$34.95	567	96%	Superb. Easily beats the competing products. Found & repaired more errors than any other software I tested. While being kind to your system. Comes with a additional set of tools to speed up & optimize your PC further. (Including an essential memory tweaker and a junk file cleaner). It's also very easy-to-use. By a long way - the best registry repair tool in 2009. More details
RegCure	$29.95	518	84%	Cheaper than many tools I've tested (and does a better job than most of them too). Built in scheduler, startup manager & automatic backup creation. Doesn't have the extra tools you get with Registry Easy, but does a great job of cleaning the registry. Excellent value for money. More details
Registry First Aid	$27.95	546	82%	A good registry cleaner that dug out a load of critical errors on my test computers. Comes with a built in defrag tool to keep your registry running in top condition. No scheduler or startup manager though. More details
XP Repair Pro	$29.99	377	75%	A sound registry cleaner that's got lots of extra settings advanced users will love. Although this is something that will turn the average user away. It makes the software slightly harder to use. More details
Registry Mechanic	$29.95	265	70%	This software looks great and is super-easy to use. It also has a one-click registry optimizer for an extra performance boost. Sadly, it misses a lot of major that other tools find. More details
Max Registry Cleaner	$29.95	522	69%	Un-earthed a good number of errors on test and cleans the registry well. There are some frustrating problems with software design however, and it's not that easy to use. More details
Registry Toolkit	$24.95	339	65%	While it's a shade cheaper than many of the other tools and the interface is great, Registry Toolkit is way behind it's competitors. More details
Reg Sweep	$19.95	210	63%	This registry cleaner looks good but has a lot of problems under the hood that your should be aware of. The most critical being the low number of errors it manages to repair. More details
Registry Fix	$37.00	265	54%	Some well thought out features but the low number of problems it hunts down leaves you feeling disappointed. There's much better software on the market. More details
Error Doctor	From $19.95	108	45%	Looking more like a Playstation game, this tool doesn't offer much bang for your buck. It's too basic and lacks in both cleaning power and features. There's far better reg cleaners out there. More details
Error Nuker	$39.95	134	27%	The most expensive tool I tested was also the worst - by a long shot. With a staggering low average of 134 errors found & repaired, this tool seriously under-performs. Avoid it. More details
