Best Registry Cleaner - Top 3 Registry Cleaners of 2011

A registry cleaner, in simplest terms, is a piece of software that scans your Windows registry and searches for errors, duplicates or missing files. The Windows registry is a hidden folder within your hard drive that contains files that are vital to your computer's efficiency. Any kind of problem can cause your computer to slow down or even crash.

Registry Easy was our #1 pick in our review. Registry Easy has the most features out of any registry cleaner we have seen thus far. Some of these features include

High-performance scan
Junk Files Cleaner
Duplicate File Cleaner
Evidence Cleaner
System Optimizer
IE Restore
Browser HOM Manager
Automatic/manual removal
Back-up registry

And the list goes on and on. The user interface is very sleek and extremely user friendly. Even if you have no knowledge of computers, you can still use Registry Easy with complete ease.

ErrorFix is another great registry cleaner. What's nice about ErrorFix is the 24/7 Support system. ErrorFix does not have as many features as Registry Easy, but you can't go wrong with it. Some of the features included in ErrorFix are

High-performance scanning
Junk File Cleaner
Evidence Cleaner
System Optimizer
Internet Optimizer
Smart Defragger
IE Manage and Restore
BHO Manager
Error Rectification
Check Invalid Shortcuts

Along with a whole lot of other features.

It was close, but we had to give the edge to Registry Easy

Finally, #3 on our list was Registry Fix. Registry Fix is another very good registry cleaner. The support wasn't as fast as ErrorFix, which was the primary factor in our decision to put it at #3. Registry Fix also has a long list of features. Registry Fix will fix all of the following

Missing file associations
Missing startup programs
Invalid device drivers
Invalid application paths
Missing DLL files
Missing help files
Missing system fonts

As I said earlier, you really can't go wrong with any of the Registry Cleaners on this list. There were only a few aspects that affected the order of our top 3.
