Registry Cleaners

Posted by admin under [2] Software

Registry Cleaners remove items from the Windows Registry which are no longer in use or are unwanted on the system. Such items may include information and/or files left by software that has otherwise been removed from the computer, information that is no longer of use, or keys necessary to the operation of malware.


Due to the sheer size and complexity of the Registry database, manually cleaning up debris and invalid entries would be impractical, so Registry Cleaners are essentially Tools that Automate the process of looking for invalid entries, missing file references or broken links within the Registry and Resolving them. This results in a fast, properly optimized Registry that keeps your Computer Running Properly.
Without such tune ups your Computer can become sluggish, full of error messages and experience frequent system crashes.
Good Registry Cleaners offer Backup and Restore functions that allow the user to revert changes made by the Registry Cleaner in case they are undesired.

Of the 7 products reviewed only three met our criteria:

  • Easy Download / Install and setup

Error Nuker


Modifying the Windows Registry is a very daunting task. Deleting the wrong entry can render your PC unusable. The Internet is flooded with registry cleaning utilities that may remove vital system entries when cleaning your registry. Some of them have backup and restore options, but an error in Windows Registry may prevent Windows from booting – what good is a backup if you cannot use it?

Error Nuker is different — its number one priority is safety. We thoroughly tested Error Nuker and the number of false positives was reduced to zero. Error Nuker uses a Windows Registry Repair Algorithm (WRRA) to make sure that it doesn’t remove a Windows Registry key if there is a chance that it might hurt your system.

[3] Registry Fix * PR123 Also Recommended * Overall Product Review Rating:

Registry Fix

Registry Fix

Every Microsoft Windows operating system has a registry. Your system registry holds a wealth of information about your computer, which is why we constantly hear from users that after using their PC for a short length of time, it no longer works the way it used to. This is due in part to invalid entries that exist in your system registry, that might exist because of software you are no longer using or software that was not properly removed. By removing these invalid entries, you can significantly increase the performance of your PC.

Many locations exist that are the cause of the most common PC troubles. Registry Fix pinpoints these locations, and the free scanner allows you to scan for invalid registry entries that might be causing your PC issues. The software will inform you of where the errors exist, and what potential errors they might cause. Registryfix will scan for errors related to ActiveX controls, DLL issues, Windows explorer errors, Windows installer issues, Internet Explorer errors, Iexpore and System32 errors, Runtime errors, Outlook and Outlook Express Errors, EXE errors, Svchost errors and a wide variety of other system issues.

 
Registry Fix was easy to download and install and the free download worked well, however we found that it was slightly slower and felt more ‘cumbersome’ than the other two products in our review and therefore only gained 3 stars and third place. Despite this it is still an efficient registry tool.

Spyware / Adware Removal

Posted by admin under [2] Software

Spyware is computer software that is installed surreptitiously on a personal computer to intercept or take partial control over the user’s interaction with the computer, without the user’s informed consent.

While the term ‘spyware’ suggests software that spies on the user’s behavior, the functions of spyware extend well beyond simple monitoring. Spyware programs can collect various types of personal information, such as Internet surfing habits, sites visited, and can also interfere with the user’s control of the computer in other ways, such as installing unwanted software, redirecting Web browser activity, accessing websites blindly that will cause more harmful viruses, or diverting advertising revenue to a third party. Spyware can even change computer settings, resulting in slow connection speeds, different home pages, and loss of Internet or other programs.

Do you feel as though you have lost control of your PC? Boot times really slow, strange web-sites appearing in your browser etc. etc. Much of this results from spy / adware infection.

We reviewed 7 Spyware / Adware removal programs and trialled them on PC’s we knew to be infected, Overall we were quite pleased with the results, choose the right Spyware removal program and you could have your PC back to full performance very quickly.

Of the 7 products reviewed only three met our criteria:

  • Easy Download / Install and setup
  • Complete removal of infections
  • Noticeable improvement in PC Performance
  • Regular and comprehensive Definitions updates

[3] NoAdware * PR123 Also Recommended * Overall Product Review Rating:

NoAdware

NoAdware


Adware, Spyware, Dialer, and Web Bug Scan

Noadware 5.0 is constantly updated to identify the latest threats to your privacy. The software will scan your PC for different Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and Web Bug traces. These items not only create nuisances in the form of popups, system slowdowns and crashes, but many items actually record personal information about you, such as credit cards, social security numbers, or other sensitive information.

You can configure various browser shields to further protect your computer when online, including a shield, that will prevent items detected from ever running on your PC in the first place!

You can check the Protect IE Favorites box to ensure that no website can add their URL to your browser’s ‘Favorite List’. a nice feature.
In fact each time a bookmark is attempted, NoAdware will alert you and ask for your authorization to add the specific URL to the browser’s ‘Favorite List’.

Despite being a very efficient Adware and Spyware remover, in our opinion, the lack of Control of Startup applications and logfile analysis relegated this software to position 3 in our Review.
