One of our biggest concerns while using Registry Easy was the length of time it would take for the program to find all of the errors on a particular computer. So we saved this program’s testing for a computer that was pretty messed up. To our surprise, the scan took no longer than expected despite the mess that we put the program through. The program found a lot of errors but that too, was expected. And so was the extensive list of problems. The most important news is that the large bulk of errors didn’t slow down the program’s scanning speed. It caught all the errors in the same amount of time that other programs found a smaller number of errors on less damaged computers. That was impressive to say the least.
Because having the ability to pick and choose what modifications takes place is important to us, we favored Registry Easy a bit more than other available optimizers. We like having this type of control but we understand that some users may prefer optimizer software that makes modifications automatically. Automatic modifications may be appropriate for newer computers and perhaps some really screwed up computers. When it comes to computers that are moderately messy however, manually selecting what should and shouldn’t be removed isn’t as tedious as it sounds – especially when compared to repairing a corrupted registry by hand (which is impossible!).
Those who don’t mind automated processes can still enjoy Registry Easy since in addition to its manual error removal feature, it offers an automatic error removal feature as well. In auto mode, the program fixes the errors it finds after a scan. Either way, whether you opt for the auto mode or manual mode, the program always makes restoration an option in the event you make a regrettable change.
The program’s backup utility backs up, undoes, and restores settings to the state they were prior to changing settings inside the registry. But the software additionally offers a restore point feature which is more than what a lot of optimizers offer. Restore points differ from back ups in that that restore points capture a snapshot of an entire computer system rather than just a computer’s registry. The registry stores a lot, but it doesn’t store everything. So even though a back up will restore software settings, a restore point will restore an entire computer.
Other features of the program include a history cleaner to protect your privacy, a startup program manager which lets you determine which programs start when you turn on your computer, and a browser HOM manager.
Browser HOMs (or as more commonly known, BHOs – browser help objects) are internet browser objects: bits of text, bits of code, bits of audio, video, or anything that the browser encounters. Over time, they can accumulate like annoying small piles of dust that when left unchecked, grow into troublesome data-bunnies that slow down internet processing. They can also expose browsers to spyware and malware, making removal a critical importance.
Many people are under the impression that clearing the cache or the cookie folder removes internet browser objects, but those tools aren’t designed to search out BHOs so they simply don’t delete them. At best, Internet Explorer will list them so that you can select which are safe and which are malicious. If you’re like most of us, you wouldn’t know a “safe BHO’ from a hole in the ground. This is what makes Registry Easy so important. Registry Easy was programmed to detect harmful BHOs and remove them.
In our opinion, Registry Easy passed all of our tests and we highly recommend it to anyone who’s concerned about computer maintenance and secure internet browsing.
