Digeus Registry Cleaner is a great program that cleans out all the little bits and pieces of useless information from your computer’s registry.  A registry is like a closet, with information stored in it. It’s not really like a closet, but let’s just say it is so I can continue with the next line. As is common with most Windows machines, it’s a closet that has been long overdue for its spring cleaning.  Many computers that run slow have massive registries, and because careless programs running in Windows frequently forget to clean up after themselves and the operating system needs more time to scan and interpret all the information.

Along the side, you’ll find a checklist of options to scan for, such as missing shared DLLs and unused file extensions. Options are given to backup and restore the registry, just in case anything goes wrong. I compared the Digeus cleaner with CCleaner, a pretty well known application.

Registry Scan Times:

  • Digeus Registry Cleaner- 2:04.94
    • 1197 problems
  • CCleaner-7 Seconds
    • 63 problems

It seems like Digeus’s Registry Cleaner can find many more problems than CCleaner, but in turn it takes longer to complete.

The Good:

  • In-depth search
  • Deletes all invalid file types, extensions, obsolete software, and etc.
  • Small program- 1.2 MB
  • No Adware/Spyware bundled

The Bad:

  • Costs $17.99 for unrestricted version
  • Trial only has 5 entries per scan until nag screen

As you can see, my only complaint here is its price – for some, though, the larger number of problems that the  Digeus Registry Cleaner can find may make it worth the cost. So before you go and get a new computer to replace your bogged-down machine, be sure to try this exceptional software and hopefully it saves you some money, time, and effort.
