Eusing Free Registry Cleaner has received rave reviews, across various online forums, by its users. This product is totally free and it does the job it is supposed to, efficiently. This cleaning application is compatible for use with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, Windows XP, 2003, and Windows Vista. We found the tool is quite easy-to-use and provides you with features that you can use to perform regular registry maintenance.
It is essential for
you to perform this maintenance because the registry is a vital Windows
component. Over time, your registry gets filled up with a lot of junk
information that may cause registry bloating. A large, bloated registry may
not only slow down your computer, but it may also be a cause of several
computer errors, freezes and crashes. Eusing Free Registry Cleaner helps you
fix these issues easily and efficiently, as well as completely free of cost.
Product Information:
Eusing
Free Registry Cleaner, as the name suggests, is available for free. The tool
enables you to safely scan your registry for invalid entries and repair
registry errors in just a few mouse clicks. We found the product to be free
from any kind of spyware or adware.
Product Installation:
We found Eusing Free Registry Cleaner to be a quite a compact software - it
has a download size of less than 1 MB. We were able to download the tool
over a broadband connection in just a few seconds. The tool was installed on
our test Windows XP computer without any glitches in a very short period of
time.
On your end, to
prevent any issues, you should try to install the software after closing any
other application that might be currently running on your computer.
User Interface: The
user interface of Eusing Free Registry Cleaner is quite simple. On the top
there is a menu that comprises five options—File, Action, Edit, Language and
Help. The top of the left panel has a Task list that allows you to select
from three other choices —Scan registry issue, Repair registry issue, and
Restore previous registry. The bottom part of the left panel displays a list
of sections that you can scan. You can choose to scan all or just selected
sections in the registry for errors. The results of the scanning process are
displayed on the right pane.
Scanning and Cleaning Performance:
The Eusing
Free Registry Cleaner enables you to scan and repair different types of
problems. For example, you can use the tool to scan the registry for invalid
ActiveX elements, invalid help files, share DLLs, Windows fonts, application
paths, Start up programs, installer references, software keys and Start menu
order. After the scanning is done, all errors pertaining to obsolete and
invalid information is displayed on the screen. After the errors are
displayed, you can perform the following tasks:
·
Select the errors
you want to repair and then click the Repair registry issue options in the
left pane to fix them.
·
If you want the
scanner to ignore a particular issue, right-click on it and select Add to
Ignore Lists command.
·
If you want to view
the issue in the Registry Editor, right-click on it and then select the Open
in regedit command.
Safe Scanning Technique:
The registry
is one of the most vital computer components because it comprises all
configuration information that is required by your PC to carry out various
operations. This importance of the registry makes it essential for us to
ensure that any changes are made to it in a safe manner. Keeping this in
mind, Eusing Free Registry Cleaner tool makes an automatic backup of the
registry before making any changes to it.
So, if you start facing any
problems after the registry repair process, you just need to restore the
backup to revert all the changes made by the cleaning process.
All you need to do
is click the “Restore previous registry option”
and hit the ‘Restore’ button.
One drawback of the tool is that due
to limitations of the storage capacity the application allows only a few
backups to be stored. Through the Options menu, you can relocate the stored
backups of the entries that have been deleted.
The Positives
Eusing Free Registry Cleaner
is a completely free cleaning application. It does the
job it was created for. It can be installed easily and without any fuss. It
can be used on a number of Windows versions, such as
Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000,
Windows XP, 2003, and Windows Vista.
The scanning is fast
and the application does a good job of cleaning up the registry. All invalid
and obsolete entries are removed accurately and efficiently.
The Eusing Free
Registry Cleaner is quite appealing, especially to novices, as it practices
safe scanning by making a backup of the registry before making any changes
to it. If the novice happens to delete an essential entry, they can just
restore the registry immediately and easily.
The Negatives
The interface looks
sort of Spartan - like an antique Windows 98.
The Eusing Free
Registry Cleaner does not remove all the traces of the unwanted elements in
the registry in one go. It requires multiple scans to completely root out
these problems. However, this is normal even for many other good registry
cleaners and it is always recommended that you perform a registry scan at
least twice to ensure complete clean up.
The application does
not assess what the risk element of the error it had detected is. If you
happen to delete the complete list of the errors detected, it's hard to tell
if something that you didn't have to delete has also been deleted. If,
alternately, the application has not removed a particular error, you don't
know whether it may be detrimental to leave it in the system.
The Verdict
For an application that is free, it does a great job.
Though free for downloading you want, if you so wish, you can donate towards
further development of this freeware through PayPal. This application is
easy to use and can be used even by computer dummies.
