RegGenie Review

RegGenie is an easy to use application that could help you optimize your registry. It boasts a user friendly interface and a easy to understand 3 step process to help you scan and then fix your computer.

Aside cleaning out your registry and fixing broken links with a mere click of the mouse, RegGenie also offers additional features:

-Automatic scan and repair scheduling
-Registry defragmentation
-Simple Backup and Restore
-Startup Management

As far as I can tell, RegGenie costs around 34.95, which is about average for mid level registry repair programs. What seems to set apart from the rest of the cleaners is the easy to use interface along with the available registry defragmenter.

First of all, looking at what most tech experts have to say about Register Cleaners, the general consensus is that you need to be very careful. Messing with your registry is tricky business and a lot of times doing so can end up doing more harm than good. Most will suggest using them only when all other fixes have been exhausted and that doing so will not necessarily make your PC run faster. That being said, I know first hand that using a reputable registry cleaner can add some zip to your PC, especially if you have an older computer

Scouring online, I did find some satisfied customers who were happy with the results after using RegGenie. The company behind the software does seem to be reputable and even sports an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. It is also backed with a Clickbank 60 day guarantee. A lot of users like the easy interface and how you do not need to be a expert computer user in order to get results.

The one concern that seems to pop up with this software has to to do with the "free trial" that is offered. Many people have complained that the free scan is pointless since they still need to pay to fix the mistakes found. Unfortunately, that's a pretty typical marketing approach for most registry cleaner companies, where they offer you a free scan to identify problems with your computer, then charge you if you want to fix the identified problems. Also, once you download the free trial, it seems that it can be difficult to fully uninstall. The other problem that came up was that some users had trouble getting their registry license key because the users email "spam catcher" flagged it as spam.

If you have a brand new PC with a super fast quad core processor and the latest software, then you probably do not need this program. However, if you have an older PC that is getting sluggish and you cannot afford the upgrade, than RegGenie might be the time and money saver you are looking for. It can help clean up your registry and help save you the time and hassle of having to wipe your hard drive clean and reinstall everything.
