Comodo Registry
Cleaner is a full version freeware developed by Comodo Inc. with a download
size of 5.8 MB. The product is, in fact, a System Cleaner and not only
offers a registry cleaner but also incorporates a ‘disc cleaner,’ and a
‘privacy cleaner’ as well. It does a deep scan of your computer, ensuring
its Windows registry runs at an optimum level. The Windows registry is the
heart of the operating system – an area where all your actions are recorded,
and which every program that runs on your computer refers to. It is vital
that the registry is always maintained at optimal health.
Applications such
as the Comodo Registry Cleaner do just that. It is an excellent product that
is compatible on most of the current versions of Windows including
Windows Vista,
Windows 2003 Server, and Windows XP, except not Windows 7 yet.
Installation,
Setup And Use
Comodo Registry
Cleaner is a comparatively heavier version at slightly below 5.8 MB, but it
downloads and installs fast. The tool is offered in both 32-bit and 64-bit
versions.
It is easy to use and
does a quick scan of your registry. On completion of the scan, you are
offered an option to either delete all the entries it lists as unwanted, or
do a selective deletion. It may be difficult to select the entries you feel
are OK out of the long list, as the obsolete information and the broken
registry entries can be very numerous. This is because every action you
perform, every file you create, and every piece of software you install or
uninstall leaves its trace in the registry.
You need to remember
that even a program you may have uninstalled years ago would still have some
information stored in the registry and will remain there until you remove it
with a cleaning application, such as the Comodo Registry Cleaner. This
excellent product can easily help you remove all the unwanted junk from the
system and bring it back to speed. No more freezing of the screen, no more
computer crashes!
Start Up
Manager
This is a good feature
to have. The Comodo Registry Cleaner has a Start Up Manager that allows you
the choice of selecting the programs you wish to launch at computer start
up. By default, Windows loads a number of programs when you start your
computer. Some of these are essential Windows programs that are required to
keep your PC functional. However, some of these are added by third-party
programs and you don’t need them until use the respective program. These
programs use up a lot of system memory and slow down the PC start up
process. Also, the more system memory your computer uses, the slower it
runs. The Start Up Manager feature of Comodo Registry Cleaner enables you to
select only the programs you require and disable the rest, thus, enabling
your computer to run faster.
Registry Back
Up
Comodo Registry
Cleaner provides a backup feature that allows you to make a registry backup
before the scan, or at any other time you wish to, automatically. Making a
back up before the registry repair process or before making any direct
changes to the registry is a good practice. This way, if anything goes wrong
with the changes, you can use the back up of the registry to restore it to
its earlier state, reversing any erroneous action.
