With the awareness provided by news, advertisements and general online conversation, most people are aware that they need or probably will at some point need to perform maintenance on the PC Windows System Registry. It can be a vexing issue for some people who get confused by all the chat about viruses, malware and other corruption that can occur on their PC.
Nonetheless, with a little research - which is easily accomplished by a user motivated by greatly degraded system performance - most people eventually ‘get it’ - i.e. that they are going to require professional assistance in the maintenance of the system registry. Professional Registry Repair is clearly in the offing.
Your Windows System Registry is the complex of files that contain all the launch parameters and permission entries that windows uses to execute and run all your applications. It is used not only by Windows but all other programs and utilities that are authorized to run and change things on your system.
These entries - while designed to replace obsolete and prior-version entries - are typically just “added onto” the existing mass of data about an application. Because this file contains - over time - duplicate, redundant, and obsolete codes it eventually slows down performance to the point of shut-downs.
To achieve a correction - or reorg and maintenance operation - to this complicated file requires professional help - either in the form of someone who is qualified to do it, or in the form of specially designed software. Also, since there are many philosophies abounding with regard to how best to accomplish this task - along with the normal variance in the integrity of software firms - you will need to choose the right software product unless you wish to spend more and let Joe do it. Deciding to let Joe do it - while not guaranteeing success - will normally cost you more and take a little longer.
Let us assume that you opt to purchase your own registry software. The question then is which system is the best bet for me and how do I decide?
Prior to our recommendations there is a single point that must be made. The Windows System Registry is a maze of technical complexity and poor design. It has now also become the target for the ‘addition’ of errant and viral code that can greatly endanger your computer. Therefore avoid cheap or free software - they are your worst possible choice. They are often poorly designed and typically very untested. They will rarely produce a good registry fix.
Okay, if you have gotten this far let us assume that you accept that you need to acquire a good product. How do you decide on the right registry software?
These are the salient points of decision:
1. Make sure that the vendor has a quality reputation and is well-recognized in its field.
2. Make sure that their product is ‘almost’ automatic. This means it will be a current generation product. Prior generation products asked you to decide which errant entries to delete. To someone who has no knowledge of this technology those are inappropriate questions.
3. Make sure that the vendor chosen has a customer service facility that is truly accessible to the user - preferably by phone.
4. Make sure that their product has a full feature set that enables you to both scan and restore as well as backup the file.
5. Make sure that you are not spending in excess of $100, with an average cost of $50 being more competitive.
6. Make sure you obtain a money back guarantee that is good for 60 days.
