So far only way
to clean registry without spending money on third-party registry cleaners
was to go through the painful process of manually editing registry. This
manual process was also potentially dangerous for people who did not know
their way around Windows registry as the chances of making incorrect changes
was very high. All this changed with the launch of Your Free Registry
Cleaner.
Your Free
Registry Cleaner is a totally free registry cleaning application and you do
not have to pay anything in order to use this software. This is a refreshing
change from numerous other registry cleaning software that claim to be free,
but actually offer only free scanning facility to its users for a limited
period of time. The developers
of the Your Free Registry Cleaner application claim that your computer ends
up running faster and smoother after using their free application.
However, some of the users may find the claim
suspicious that this product comes absolutely free of cost and may be
skeptical of its performance or even intentions.
Then, there are some malicious
entities which for commercial gains tend to dub such free software as
spyware. Let us begin the pursuit of truth through a comprehensive review of
this product and offer our neutral verdict on it. However, before that, a
little information on why you need registry cleaners like Your Free Registry
Cleaner 3.0 for the benefit of new computer users.
Windows registry is the heart of any Windows operating
system and is a storehouse of all data, entities and information required to
run your system. Over time, the files and other data become corrupted,
damaged, obsolete, and go missing. As a user you need to install and
uninstall software and drivers. Every time you do so there are traces of
redundant entries that remain in the registry. This corrupts the registry
and slows it down. You need a registry cleaning application to set the
system of your PC right and get it working at optimum speed.

than 0.8 MB. We were pleasantly surprised that like all good things, this
software came in a small package. This means that you do not have to wait
forever for it to download on your system. Before you know, the software is

Installation and Scan
Our test team
decides to check this free Your Free Registry Cleaner 3.0 application.
Installing this
application went through without any hitch. The user interface is simple,
has a neat design and is graphically pleasing to look at. You just need to
click the ‘Start Scan’ button to start the process. This version has a much
more improved and fast registry scan.
Your Free
Registry Cleaner 3.0 application scans and detects the unused as well as the
corrupted entities in the registry of your computer’s system. At the end of
the scanning process, the corrupted data in the registry and other errors
present are listed displaying the details and the type of problems detected
by the application.
You have the
option of selecting the errors found for cleaning and/or removal. You can
select all by opting the ‘Select All’ option and then hitting the ‘Clean
Selected’ button. Before the cleaning process starts the application offers
you the option of backing up the registry.
Our technical
team is of the opinion that you must always backup your registry before
making any changes in it. We feel it is imperative in case something goes
wrong during the cleaning process, or if you inadvertently do something
wrong. This adverse action could wipe out a lot of your data from the system
and it could be irretrievable.
The backup
allows you to retrieve the registry as it was before the cleaning process.
The interface,
though simple, allows you to check for updates and download them as and when
available.
Our Verdict
While Your Free
registry cleaner 3.0 may find it difficult to please advance computer
professionals and techies, but our team feels it is a good application for
the amateur computer users. The application will also find favor among users
who are not keen on getting into nitty-gritty of registry scan and repair
process.
For a small
application it has backup feature and allows for application updates.
The best part
of this software is that it gives an option to clean your registry without
incurring any cost. So that is a neat savings of about $30 and this will be
well appreciated by students and users who do not
have money to spend on purchasing registry cleaners.
We conclude it
is a genuine application which is worth trying out, especially if it is your
first attempt to clean your registry or if you do not want to shell money to
clean your registry. You simply have nothing to lose.
