As we continue to do more and more with our personal computers, it has become increasingly important that we perform periodic maintenance to keep it performing well. An important part of this is running a program to cleanup registry-Windows XP errors. There are many programs available to perform this and if you believe the advertising every one of them is the best. In order to determine the real truth about which registry cleaners are the best and especially which ones to avoid, you'll need to dig a little deeper.
First of all, let's discuss why it is important to keep your registry clean and optimized.
The personal computer has evolved into a very complex machine that has many components that must be synchronized perfectly in order for it to work. For a PC that operates on Windows, all of the instructions that tell the PC what to do are contained in the registry file. Any time you install a new program, browse the Internet, bookmark items or save files, new instructions get written to the registry. Over time the registry becomes bloated with instructions many of which are no longer needed that actually slow down the PC and cause potential errors. Registery cleaners are used to remove these unnecessary instructions and optimize the registry to make your PC run smoothly.
To cut through all the hype, we videotaped six of the top registery cleaners as they scanned a PC.
We had each of them scan the exact same registry file. As they performed to their tests, we recorded them so you could see the true results. When we were done, we put together a list of how they performed in relation to each other. The results were shocking. The number one performer was Registry Fix that found and repaired over 1200 registry errors. In contrast, the registery cleaner in sixth place found under 100 errors using the same file to test.
The head-to-head performance test showed a 12 to 1 difference between these most popular registry cleaning programs!
We were shocked with these results but it goes to show that programs designed to cleanup registry-Windows XP errors vary significantly. In conclusion, we recommend that you choose only the best registry cleaners to use on your PC. We also suggest that you avoid those that have not been tested because they can actually damage your PC if they corrupt your registry by erasing a necessary set of instructions.
