Our Review of Regcure by Paretologic

With so many registry repair programs available for purchase and download , it is often confusing as to know which program is actually best. Which registry cleaner is going to fix all of the registry errors and get a computer running like new? Is the registry cleaner you are looking at worth the money? And is it safe for your machine?

Testing all of the best registry cleaners, included testing the program often described as the best, and this was RegCure from ParetoLogic. Our tests would hopefully show whether RegCure deserved its elevated status.

We took our test computer and timed the boot-up time, the results showed that it came in just under five minutes, at 4:43, anyone who has to wait for a computer to start-up will know that this feels like an eternity and is far too long to be right. We then downloaded RegCure from the internet and installed it from the small file. We were now ready to start our tests.

Testing RegCure

Having installed RegCure we then let it scan the entire Windows registry, with no other programs open on our machine. RegCure quickly reported that it had found 725 errors within the registry. We followed this first scan up with a second scan to test the consistency of results.

RegCure again quickly reported 726 errors. A difference of one between scans is very comforting as it is not unknown for successive scans to produce widely different results.

With the scans completed we then used RegCure's back-up feature to create a copy of the Windows registry, as a restore point. This feature is great in itself as we know that in the case of anything going wrong the registry can always be restored. Additionally we also made a restore point using the Windows operating system, something that should be done regularly anyway.

The errors were then repaired using RegCure after we had registered our full version of the repair software.

The last two steps of our testing then involved using the Start Manager facility, which allowed us to pick and choose the programs that load during computer start-up. The second step was to remove some of the icons from our desktop, which were now rarely used.

The Results of Our Tests

The first thing we did was to find out whether RegCure had managed to improve the computer start-up time. From the initial time of 4:43, boot-up had now been reduced to 2:44, a 40% reduction in boot-up time. Our test computer now runs much faster when being used as well and there has been no reoccurrences of error messages or computer freezes.

Overall we have found that RegCure was safe to use and quick in its work. RegCure can be downloaded as a free trial that allows the registry to be scanned, but for the ability to fix errors found it is necessary to buy the full version. Purchasing the full version is highly recommended, and it is not too expensive. This one purchase could get your computer running like new and so is well worth it.

ParetoLogic also offer a complete money back guarantee, which will see money returned if the consumer is not completely satisfied.

The Downside

We have yet to find any computer software that completely perfect, although RegCure is close to it. There is a downside to the registry cleaner though, and that occurred when we were dealing with the support system. We needed to contact customer service to obtain the key for our version of RegCure, and whilst it was resolved, it could have been more quickly fixed.

RegCure Features

Feature wise as well, RegCure is second best to Registry Mechanic. This is not a big concern, as we do feel that many features within Registry Mechanic are not required as they are already present within Windows. In many ways RegCure is better for this fact as it contains only what is needed from a registry repair program. For other computer problems not associated with the registry we would recommend the purchase of specialised software anyway, registry repair programs are not designed to fix all computer problems.

We have found that the features within RegCure are sufficient to clean and organise the Windows registry, including as they do -

• Back-up creation -Backing up the registry is vital to the safe repair of any Windows registry.

• Ignore Items - Identified errors can be placed on an ignore list so that they will not be repaired in the future, there may be anomalies within the registry that a user may want to keep.

• Automatic Repair - RegCure users can choose to have the program repair errors without the need for them to be confirmed.

• Scheduling - RegCure allows for future scheduling to be arranged so that RegCure can automatically run and identify registry errors, saving the user from having to remember to run the program.

• Manage Start-up - RegCure will arrange for programs to be disabled during the boot-up of a computer, vastly improving the start-up time.

Overall Marks

• Simplicity - 5.0/5.0
  RegCure is really easy to use, and anyone who can get a computer to start should be able to install and run it. Once loaded the whole program is easy to navigate around and make use of, with a logical progression between features.

• Thoroughness - 5.0/5.0
  Our testing showed that RegCure was very comprehensive and also very quick. During its first scan, RegCure located 725 errors, and only an additional one during its second scan. This consistency in results is very indicative or a thorough registry repair program. The repair process was equally quick and comprehensive, and RegCure even allows for any repair to be undone if required.

• Features and Functions - 4.0/5.0
  There is at least one registry cleaner with more features, although it is debatable whether the additional features are needed, as they are already built into Windows. RegCure does what you want from a registry cleaner, and will repair and optimize the registry to very high standards.

• Support - 3.5/5.0
  The support system is not the strongest element of RegCure, and we had an issue when trying to obtain our missing registration key. The issue was eventually resolved using the automatic key retrieval process, but we would have liked something that exceeded our expectations.

• The Final Score - 4.5/5.0
  Despite the low score for support, RegCure is still our favourite registry cleaner on the market, and as such would be the only program we would recommend. Try RegCure for free with a download and scan.
